Speaker for the Corporations John Boehner wants to kill your Grandparents and maybe your Parents too

[DainBramaged]

“We should be talking about cuts of trillions, not just billions,” he will say. “They should be actual cuts and program reforms, not broad deficit or debt targets that punt the tough questions to the future. And with the exception of tax hikes -- which will destroy jobs -- everything is on the table.”

That includes "honest conversations" about Medicare. Boehner will say that the health program for seniors -- often described as a political third rail treasured by the nation’s most dependable voter bloc - should be on the table for saving the country money.

"We all know, with millions of Baby Boomers beginning to retire, the status quo is unsustainable," Boehner will say. "If we don't act boldly now, the markets will act for us very soon.”

Cut the defense budget by 50% clown and you'll get your reductions without cutting social programs.

1. Cut the fucking defense budget and tax billionaires and profits 15%. Close tax loopholes.

Budget balanced.

5. I'm hoping cutting the defense budget is on Obama's list now that OBL is dead. nt

I keep hoping he has a brilliant plan to do all I want him to as soon as he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected.

Hey, I can dream can't I?

2. Anybody that talks about no tax hikes period is NOT

serious about deficit reduction. Ergo, John of orange is not serious. He's about taking away the social safety net and starving the disadvantaged.

3. "If we don't act boldly now, the markets will act for us very soon.”

Yeah, and many if not most of the soon to be boomer seniors or already senior voters that Boehner and his fellow Rethugs wants to shaft may/will act boldly and vote to bump your tinted ass out of office very soon afterwards. Fuck with their survival at your peril.

4. Probably Tang Man's last chance to gut the safety net, now that he and

his ilk can no longer hide their real agenda from their constituents.

6. But did he cry? n/t.

7. Pull out of Afghanistan & Iraq and you'll reduce spending by $100 billion per year.
