It is increasingly clear that the Republicans will demand mandatory cuts in Social Security and Medicare as a price for increasing the debt ceiling later this spring.

Of course they won't say they are demanding mandatory cuts in Social Security and Medicare.

Over the Easter recess they've had a taste of just how strongly people feel about Medicare. Before they left the Capitol last month House Republicans voted - almost unanimously -- for the Republican budget that ends Medicare and replaces it with a privatized system of partial support for private insurance premiums. They ran into a town hall buzz-saw of opposition in every corner of the country.

The House Republican budget plan authored by Congressman Paul Ryan isn't going anywhere in the Senate.

1. Fuck them.

If the ceiling can't be raised without them, don't raise it. The resulting wreck will be on them.

I'm tired of their terroristic shit.
