Live and let die--Wisconsin style

More semi-off-topic news, but there's not much going on at Hoofers this time of year, and this is incredible....

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has proposed doing away with Medicare and Medicaid. Incredibly, in the same bill, he proposes substantially cutting taxes for the very rich. So let's get this straight.

Ryan wants to toss the poor (along with their children), the disabled, and the elderly under a bus while grabbing their cash (before they land under the bus) and giving it to the rich people who donated to his campaign. Oh, and Ryan also wants to get rid of food stamps. The words blatantly and outrageous come to mind.

It's obvious that Ryan is trying to make a name for himself, but threatening tens of millions of Americans is a strange way to do it. In any case, it's the same as in Hoofers: when you're in a position of authority, and lacking any moral compass, try whatever you think you can get away with.
