Cantor and Teabaggers ready to slash Medicare. WHO IS GOING TO STOP THEM?
Edited on Thu Aug-04-11 07:50 PM by Bluebear
ThinkProgress:

During an interview with the Wall Street Journal, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said he is ready and willing to slash entitlements like Medicare

Reuters:

Thousands of Tea Party movement activists are expected to descend this month on town hall meetings across key battleground states as part of an intensifying campaign ahead of the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. Their priority is a plan to slash Medicare costs proposed by House of Representatives Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan…"The Ryan plan is the only one out there so far, and what we need is an adult conversation with all politicians talking about the real issues."

And just who his going to stop them? Our President, who is the one who put Medicare on the table during the recent deficit deal debacle? I trust Pelosi on this one. I don't trust Reid. And forget about Obama - if "insert any concession here" gets him a deal, he'll do it.

3. The Only Way to Stop the Teabaggers is to Vote Them Out of Office
Are there enough sane people in those districts to do that?
