Senate Republicans Will Break with Ryan’s Blueprint

[DonViejo]

“Senate Republicans will not include detailed plans to overhaul entitlement programs when they unveil their first budget in nearly a decade this week,” The Hill reports.

“The decision would break from Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) House budgets from recent years, which Democrats used to pound Republican candidates in the 2012 and 2014 elections… The Senate GOP blueprint will not propose reforming Social Security, the political third rail that Ryan also avoided as former chairman of the House Budget Committee.”

1. Going by past performance of keeping promises

they will, if elected just wait until the they feel the time is right and then spring it on the country. They have wanted to get rid of SS for as long as I can remember and all the other programs like Medicare and Medicaid etc. which they see as of of no value to the 1% who, after all, put them in office. If they cannot outright kill them they will privatize them and make them ultimately unaffordable for the average citizen.
And so my hatred grows!

2. It just dawned on them that their own states will not appreciate being stuck with the bill when

programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and ACA are cut to the bone. That is one thing that the SCOTUS case regarding ACA has made them think about.
