Rep. Paul Ryan decided to pile on during an economic and jobless recovery. The time is right for "disaster capitalism."
When asked about his proposed changes putting an enormous burden on the poorest people in this country;
Ryan: "No, I would not agree with that. This saves the social safety net..."
That of course doesn't address the burden his changes will have on the poor. Ryan only sees numbers. He wants to save Medicare, in name only, ignoring the human toll on seniors. MSNBC's Cenk Uygur:
I love this talking point because it's so politically calculating:
Ryan: "If you do it now, nobody 55 and above will see any change."
Senior where the ones who put Republicans in power, fearing "Obamacare" would take away their Medicare benefits. The assurance from Ryan would supposedly save their vote for 2012. Will seniors again throw their kids under the bus like last time?
