Republican Budget = Gov’t SHUTDOWN! /

In lieu of raising taxes on the billionaires in this country, Republican House Representative Paul Ryan believes it is a good idea to eliminate Medicare in order to balance the nation’s budget. Today, the chairman of the House Budget Committee introduced a budget bill that isn’t the least bit serious. In addition to eliminating Medicare—the government-run program that provides medicine for your grandparents and elderly relatives—Mr. Ryan proposed deep cuts in programs that would improve the country’s infrastructure and create a mass amount of jobs. Transportation, energy and education were among several other key programs that Republicans in the House have placed on the chopping block, and yet their plan would increase the federal deficit by a record $8 trillion (with a “T”). In his State of the Union speech, President Obama warned that we cannot ‘win the future’ unless we invest in the very things that Republicans are attempting to eliminate. Folks, this ain’t looking good. It looks like we are on our way to a huge government shutdown.
Side note: Have Republicans agreed with anything that Pres. Obama has done in the last three years? I mean, c’mon, surely there was ONE THING he did right!
