PAUL RYAN SAYS HES BEEN DREAMING OF CUTTING MEDICAID SINCE HE WAS IN COLLEGE
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/paul-ryan-medicaidUnlike the average college student, who spends their university years studying to pass the next midterm or, more realistically, planning their next alcohol-drenched bacchanalia, Paul Ryan stayed focused on loftier goals: denying health-care coverage for millions of low-income and elderly Americans. Or so he implied while defending his current effort to roll back Medicaid, via his unpopular plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, while speaking with National Review editor Rich Lowry at an event Friday hosted by the conservative magazine. “Sending it back to the states, capping its growth rate,” Ryan said wistfully. “We have been dreaming of this since I have been around, since you and I were drinking at a keg.”
Now, he may finally get his wish.
It is each of our duties to make sure every person we know who votes republican SEES this.

I don't know about other's people's dreams but I don't know ANYBODY who's ever talked to me about dreaming about being in a position to cut Medicaid since they were in College. I mean who the f**k does that????!!! I used to think that I was a bit weird since I was heavily interested in politics in my teenage years but I still spent most of time dreaming about being a Jedi rather than cutting Medicaid.
First time I've heard that charming expression. Yet these First-Class losers don't own their own private jets -- so why should they command any respect?
Not that ownership of a private jet qualifies as grounds for respect:
Care of them. It's not the government's responsibility.
I used to hear that growing up. I remember asking, but what if their family doesn't help them, or what if they have no family.
I think the unspoken value is that if you are too much of a burden, you are supposed to die. Most people feel that way. I do. If it gets to the point there is no quality of life, fuck it.
The question is, who makes the call? Repubs w their health care? Family? or me?
The Repubs, like Romney were able to keep her quality of life high enough to make it worth it. Those Repubs will have even more of an advantage with Trumpcare tax breaks. The middle class, what's left of it, and the poor, will have to call it quits sooner. They buy themselves time and quality of life, and yet they want even more than they can use, at the expense of the masses, who suffer.
Let them eat cake, is truly their attitude.
Well, at least your relatives volunteer.
Making a living off of carrion. Congressman Ryan, living the life.
You mean someone actually invited him to a keg party? 
Sam Brownback. Sam Brownback Paul Ryan.
Sam gets all dreamy eyed over this.
It is what he had always hoped, to do what he has done to Kansas and to see Ryan bring it to the country. I do seriously mean dreamy, starry eyed over this. It is sickening. 
I hate that guy so very much!
