The 'Hammer': Republicans' aim is to 'get rid of those big government entitlement programs.'
Tom Delay, on MSNBC's Daily Rundown this morning, specifically mentioned Medicare and Social Security and Paul Ryan's 'Roadmap for America.' Delays says it all about 'reducing the size of government,' and that Obama's healthcare plan is ruining our future prosperity and the Republicans aim to repeal it.

As I have written before, the corporate lackey Republicans' aim is to "Privatize Social Security' and 'Voucherize Medicare.'

The Democrats need to get this message out and get it out fast--if they are to avoid massive mid-term losses. President Obama must lead the charge. The White House is looking for ways to further stimulate the economy through small business tax incentives, permanent research and development credits, and perhaps a payroll tax holiday for employers and, I hope, employees, as well.

We will see next week how President Obama and Democrats answer the call.

2. Hint: When Delay says "Obama's healthcare plan is ruining our future prosperity "
He's talking about rich folk, not average Americans.
