What young man doesn’t fantasize about slashing federal funding for the poor?


Unlike 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.
