The DCCC says it's OK to cut Medicare, just not too fast, OK? [View all]

[Scuba]

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) doesn't seem to be staffed by real Democrats ...

Scuba --

Paul Ryan, in an effort to downplay the severity of the House budget he’ll be presenting next week, says not to "expect any big surprises." What a relief -- no big surprises?!?

Actually, word is we can expect a few big surprises in Ryan's budget.

Reports say that Paul Ryan will call for ending Medicare as we know it for America’s seniors.

According to sources, Ryan’s budget includes a plan to VOUCHERIZE Medicare for seniors younger than 55.

Finally, Ryan wants to squeeze 30 years of vicious cuts into only a decade. That would be brutal.

Thanks,

So Kelly, which is it: are you for Medicare for All, like us real Democrats, or are you just fine with spreading Paul Ryan's 10 years of cuts out over 30?
