Why can’t Democrats come up with catchy names like “Saving the American Dream?”
If you thought Paul Ryan’s draconian plan was bad, based on the Heritage Foundation's fuzzy math, here’s the Foundations latest correction continuing in that downward spiral:
The conservative Heritage Foundation released its own plan … Titled “Saving the American Dream,” … The proposal goes a step further than even House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” in many areas.
When it comes to Social Security, “Saving the American Dream” recipients — those who have worked over 35 years — would receive a flat payment designed to keep them out of poverty. On health care, the Heritage proposal (repeals) health care reform … In its place would be a non-refundable tax credit to help families purchase health plans … scaling back education spending, replacing farm subsidies with farm savings accounts and privatizing government-supported transportation.
Who wouldn’t like private roads, private schools and the buying power of ONE shopping for health care?
In anticipation of the Heritage Foundation’s plan, the Onion realized immediately that in the opposites world of conservative speak, what we’re really talking about it the “Death of the American Dream.”
