Republicans have nothing to offer but their fucking ideological jihads against the poor and against healthcare 'entitlement programs' in particular.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R., S.C.) told constituents at a town hall meeting in Lancaster on Thursday that the committee soon would unveil a budget resolution for fiscal 2012 that recommends revamping Medicaid to allow states more latitude in spending federal money.

Some lawmakers say significant deficit reduction can only be accomplished by reining in entitlements, such as Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. Republicans have been saying they will propose big reductions in those programs in the fiscal 2012 budget.
It's just pure ideology for these asswipes.
They would recommend to cut Medicaid to put out a forest fire.
They probably recommend cutting Medicare to help the Japanese with their broken reactors.
They are so fucking transparent at this time - they just want to fuck the poor and, as noted in the article, unsurprisingly -
The proposal reflects a major departure from the current policy. Because it calls for a reduction in Medicaid spending, it could derail an expansion of Medicaid in 2014 that is a cornerstone of the new, Democratic-backed health-care law.
Proper Democrats are calling this another GOP assault on healthcare and the poor, and as noted above, it is another 2-fer for the GOP in that they can savage the poor and the sick now while trying to dmage the implementation of Obama's healthcare law in 2014 as well.
I wonder what good the GOP could create if they weren't so completely committed to Satan Worship destroying Americans..
Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) allegedly suggested that Dems and Repubs weren't that far apart in negotiations, which I don't find re-assuring but
Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 House Republican, Friday called Mr. Schumer's characterization "completely far-fetched,'' and he faulted Democrats for failing to produce a comprehensive alternative to Republicans' proposed budget cuts.
I am happy to hear that Dems have failed to please republicans opn this. That's Democrats doing their jobs.
Repubs fussing at Dems for not having ideas? Hysterical.
Republicans hate you and they hate Americans.
I wish more people would act like it.
