New House GOP Budget On April 1: Coincidence?

The House GOP delivered their new Budget on April 1. Coincidence?

"If you expected a GOP alternative to the failed policies of the past that got our country into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, then I have two words for you: April Fool's," said Kenneth Baer, OMB communications director.

After 14 years of GOP ruled Congress, the only "health care reform" they could come up with was the "prescription drug plan" that is basically a give away to big pharma and contributes significantly to the costs they now claim to be cutting by gutting Medicare.

Austan Goolsbee, an economic adviser to the president and increasingly active administration spokesman, told MSNBC: "Well, look, I thought it was most appropriate that this thing came out on April Fools' Day because this thing is the biggest April Fools' Joke and cruelest that we have had in years. If you look at what they are doing...they are calling for putting in a multi-trillion dollar additional tax cut for the highest income Americans, they are now talking about privatizing Medicare turning it into a voucher so that they can cut it substantially. That's not the reform of an entitlement -- it is the gutting of a program."

Just as the baby boomers are entering retirement they want to play games with the entitlement programs they paid into their whole lives. That will work.

How can the authors of the Road To Ruins epic we are living now, then turn around and re-hash the same tax cut ideas and call it "The Republican Road To Recovery"?
