I thought Republicans/Conservatives/Libertarians/Right Wingers Cared About The Debt?
They don't care about the debt, they never did. They are con men & women. The ones elected to the US House & US Senate are slave bitches owned by their $$$$$$$ paymasters. In 2017 they publicly admit that they are bought and paid for slave bitches.
The KING and chief CON MAN among the RepubliKlans and their main spokesmodel is PAUL RYAN
Paul Ryan is a con man!
Now you might take issue with that statement given the reality that almost ALL politicians embellish, distort or flat-out LIE....but.....Paul Ryan is in a special category.
He is bold-faced unmitigated premeditated LIAR. With the connivance of the "corporate television media"; NBC,FOX FAKE, CBS, ABC, CNN he is presented as the serious policy wonk of the RepubliKlan party.
However Ryan's policy proposals are pure rubbish; he is a fraud! The corporate media gives him a free pass to spout his lies without any challenge.
If you take 60 minutes out of your life and actually read Ryan's bullshit policy proposals you will be shocked at its complete lack of reality-based facts; there are NONE AT ALL; just smoke & mirrors and asterisks.
RepubliKlan policies going into this 2016 election are unchanged since 2000. If anything their policies have become even more intransigently, macro-economically illiterate.
Paul Ryan the Republiklans go-to-guy for economic policy continues to issue an economic "Roadmap To Prosperity", every year, based on the fantasy childish unreal fiction of novelist Ayn Rand.
The substance of Ryan's yearly budget document is laughable accounting fiction which calls for drastic cuts in government safety net programs, coupled with huge tax cuts for the .05% including capital gains cut to ZERO percent, the privatization of Medicare, the turnover of Social Security to Wall street, and a HUGE increase in military spending.
This fantasy 'budget'?? - is quickly debunked by any high school student who has taken advanced placement courses in accounting or math. In Ryan's bizarre world $500 Billion plus $400 Billion equals $300 Billion. Despite this yearly Bullshit document that Ryan puts out that any Grade C accountant can quickly debunk - the corporate media of mass deception continues to present this flim-flam man as a "serious" person.
Now that the RepubliKlan tax cuts for corporations and the .01% is almost a law ( it's in conference committee) these 2017RepubliKlans TRUMP DICK RIDERS are unashamedly (whores have no shame) telling the world that they are going to cut Medicare & Social Security & Medicaid and all programs that tangibly benefit over 150,000,000 Americans. They don't give a shit; FUCK American citizens; their priority is to their donors. They need to make sure the Walton family who are the primary owners of WalMart get to pass on 100,000,000,000 (100 Billion) to their heirs TAX FREE . Fuck the disabled Vietnam veteran living off of Social Security, food stamps, & VA benefits. They are all proud slave bitches now, like gay men at the bath house, bent over with their anal orifices pressed against glory holes waiting for that anonymous penetration to come.
Heading Toward Tax Victory, Republicans Eye Next Step: Cut Spending
By KATE ZERNIKE and ALAN RAPPEPORT | DEC. 2, 2017
As the tax cut legislation passed by the Senate early Saturday hurtles toward final approval, Republicans are preparing to use the swelling deficits made worse by the package as a rationale to pursue their long-held vision: undoing the entitlements of the New Deal and Great Society, leaving government leaner and the safety net skimpier for millions of Americans.
Speaker Paul D. Ryan and other Republicans are beginning to express their big dreams publicly, vowing that next year they will move on to changes in Medicare and Social Security. President Trump told a Missouri rally last week, “We’re going to go into welfare reform.”
Their nearly $1.5 trillion package of tax cuts, a plan likely to win final approval in the coming days, could be the first step. But their strategy poses enormous risks, not only for millions of Americans who rely on entitlement programs, but also for Republicans who would wade into politically difficult waters, cutting popular benefits for the elderly and working poor just after cutting taxes for profitable corporations......

Trump wants this tax cut. It was a disaster in Kansas - RepubliKlans Know that it will explode the US deficit and add NO jobs ...

One of the key offerings of the Republican tax plan: reducing the tax rate for pass-through businesses. It's ...
Trump has turned the RepubliKlan party into a theocratic fascist cult with him at the helm as "Dear Leader". Following Steve Bannon's instructions Trump has gutted American governmental regulatory institutions (U.S. Dept. of State, EPA, Interior Dept. U.S. Treasury Dept., FCC, etc.) and and replaced them with authoritarian lead corporate friendly sycophantic crews, working assiduously to deregulate and eliminate laws that are beneficial to 99% of U.S. citizens.
The reality-based U.S. dodged a toxic spewing missle last night with the narrow defeat of the degenerate Roy Moore. However the defeat of Moore will only slightly slow down the destruction of the United States of America that is occurring as long as Trump and his camarilla continues to squat in the Oval Office. Where is the opposition??, the so called resistance to the Trump gang. The picture above of the Democratic Party leadership inspires little confidence. They are in a fight with gangsters and they are coming to the fight with books while the illiterate gangsters come with baseball bats predetermined to smash the Democrats heads into pulp like a Hitler S.S. squad killing Jews on sight as they marched their terror across Europe in the 1940's.

The Next Step in the Radical Trump-G.O.P. Agenda: Gut the Welfare State
by John Cassidy | December 8, 2017 |https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-next-step-in-the-radical-trump-gop-agenda-gut-the-welfare-state
Much of journalism is dedicated to the proposition that the truth is often hidden. Sometimes, though, it is right there before our noses. Despite the chaos, the insinuations, and the scandals surrounding Donald Trump, he and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill are making progress toward enacting the radical conservative agenda that the G.O.P. has been developing over the past two decades.
In a radio interview on Wednesday, Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, talked about the budget-busting, reward-the-rich G.O.P. tax bill—he didn’t describe it that way, of course—and what will happen after Trump signs it into law, assuming the House-Senate conference can agree on a final text. “We’re going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit,” Ryan said. Programs like Medicare and Medicaid “are the big drivers of debt,” he went on, “so we spend more time on the health-care entitlements, because that’s really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking.”
Even by the standards of today’s Republican Party, Ryan’s comments were pretty brazen. No such worry about deficits came up when the G.O.P. proposed slashing taxes for the wealthy. This about-face wasn’t anything new, however. For the G.O.P., tax reform was always part of a larger agenda: dismantling the welfare state, rolling back the regulatory state, and crippling the Democratic Party. Other prominent Republican politicians have made similar comments to Ryan’s, including Senator Marco Rubio and Trump himself. In a speech last week, the President talked about moving onto “welfare reform”—seemingly oblivious to the fact that Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress dismantled the primary welfare programs back in the late nineteen-nineties. About the only big federal means-tested programs left are Medicaid and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Evidently, these will be on the Republican hit list, even though the primary populations they serve are the sick, the elderly, and children.
But the Republican leaders won’t stop there. For years, privatizing Social Security and Medicare, the great liberal creations of the New Deal and the Great Society, and radically downsizing Medicaid, another Great Society innovation, have been their primary goals. In Ryan’s “Roadmap for America,” the legislative blueprint that he first put forward in 2008, these proposals were the central element, while tax cuts were secondary. During last year’s election campaign, Trump repeatedly pledged to protect these popular programs from cuts—but he still called for the abolition of Obamacare, which would have involved drastic cuts to the Medicaid budget. Now, Trump’s attitude toward Social Security and Medicare appears to be changing, too. Ryan, in his radio interview, said that he had been speaking privately with Trump about the approach they should take to entitlement programs, and he added, “I think the President is understanding choice and competition works everywhere, especially in Medicare.”
Ryan’s remarks illustrate why he and other Republican leaders have refused to break with Trump despite his frequent outrages, which, most recently, have included endorsing a U.S. Senate candidate, Roy Moore, who stands accused of repeatedly molesting teen-age girls. The alliance between Trump and congressional Republicans is sometimes an uneasy one, but it’s based on mutual self-interest. With his approval rating in the mid-thirties and Robert Mueller’s investigators circling, Trump needs to maintain the support of Republican leaders, who could theoretically impeach him. The Republicans, meanwhile, need Trump—and the fervent supporters who follow him—to maintain even the barest populist pretense to their reactionary endeavors. Senior Republicans know full well that they have made a Faustian pact. With passage of a tax bill seemingly within sight, they think it is finally paying off. And from their perspective, they are right.
Earlier this week, the conservative economist and Trump supporter Stephen Moore pointed out that the Republican tax bills don’t just include the Party’s long-standing aims to slash tax rates on corporations, eliminate (or drastically curtail) the estate tax and the Alternative Minimum Tax, and abolish the individual mandate to purchase health insurance. By getting rid of the personal tax deductions for state and local income taxes, the bills also target high-spending Democratic states and municipalities, such as New York and California. As this provision bites, these Democratic strongholds will come under increasing pressure to cut their budgets. That, in turn, will hurt the public sector unions that are a key pillar of the modern Democratic Party.
In addition to undercutting the base of the Democratic Party, the tax bill would boost key Republican constituencies—and not just the corporate and plutocratic ones. In a last-minute move as it was hashing out its version of the tax bill, the Senate approved an amendment from Ted Cruz that would greatly expand the scope of 529 college-savings plans. If Cruz’s proposal makes it into the final bill, as seems likely, parents will be able to use money from 529 plans to help pay the tuition fees for private K-12 schools. That would give a big lift to charter and religious schools, many of which are staffed by teachers who aren’t union members. Appearing on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Thursday, Cruz said that the G.O.P. tax bill was now the “biggest schools-choice bill ever.”
To sum up, the Republicans are using Trump as a blunt instrument—a term that Steve Bannon once used—to help them enact the legislative and administrative counter-revolution that they have long been plotting with their mega-donors and corporate-funded think tanks. And Trump, despite his efforts to portray himself as a defender of the working people, is eager to go along with this plutocratic agenda, which, of course, benefits him and his family.
It is tempting to think that Trump’s hard-pressed supporters will eventually see through him. But that moment of revelation could be a good while coming. Like many right-wing populists, he uses divisive and diversionary tactics to disguise the true nature of his regime. And when it doesn’t come into conflict with Republican dogma or his own interests, he tries to repay the groups that supported him. (This week’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, widely presented as a big foreign-policy initiative, was also a sop to Evangelical Christians, who for theological reasons have taken up the Zionist cause.)
A new Quinnipiac University poll indicates that just twenty-nine per cent of Americans support the Republican tax plan, and sixty-four per cent (rightly) believe that it will benefit the wealthy most. And yet eighty-two per cent of Republicans still approve of the job that Trump is doing as President. That, of course, is another reason why G.O.P. leaders won’t break with him.
