GOP Political Euphemism (s) - Fast Facts #7

The Ryan Budget was created with much input from the Heritage foundation and has been put forward by the #GOP as their own.

Ryan's budget plan includes a measure creating a voucher-like system to replace the our current medicare program for future retirees to purchase subsidized health plans from private insurance companies.

At the end of the month of May Senator Mitch McConnell said that Medicare spending is being discussed in budget negotiations between congressional leaders and the White House. "Medicare is on the table," McConnell said at a news conference.

Running away from their original statements of "we are saving Medicare from going broke" no really, "we are preserving medicare", the new Republican Party Line is Medicare is broke, everyone agrees and is on board that Medicare has to be changed so anything which will be done will be done by agreement.

Fact is the Republicans, eager to move the economic discussion away from their budget plan and its unpopular Medicare overhaul back to the more comfortable ideas like lowering taxes and getting rid of burdensome regulations on businesses.

Just another in a long line of political euphemisms used by the GOP, a party with ever changing litmus tests.....

Ryan described President Obama's budget proposal as "rationing" Medicare, countering that the program needed support and solutions, "not government."

Accept responsibility for your deeds.

Remember, for more than 11 years we have reaped the benefits of GOP tax cuts and tax cut extensions. Some by GOP majorities, some by GOP negotiating compromises from ill equipped (for negotiating) Democratic majorities.

Thank you GOP, men of many words, few facts , but many words.
