Scott Walker's Most Heinous Budget Stunt Yet
Scott Walker's Most Heinous Budget Stunt Yet
"In other words, Walker wants to force the frail elderly and disabled adults into a single, expensive program. He then wants to give these contracts - worth more than $3 billion - in a no bid process to large for profit insurance companies, who will have little or no oversight.
Gee, do you think he is fishing for the Big Insurance campaign donations with this immoral giveaway?
Ah, but that's not all. With all things Walker, there is more. There is always more.
Walker is not satisfied with just going after the disabled adults and frail elderly. He wants to go after disabled children as well."

GOP’s new attack on Social Security: Yet another result of government for the 1 percent

"So if you’re scratching your head over why Republicans are so eager to attack a program as beloved by voters as Social Security, don’t. Just keep in mind that so long as American politics is dominated by the hyper-wealthy, the hopes and fears of regular voters only matter until the final ballot is cast."

CEO and Former Republican Senate Candidate: “Mentally Retarded” Worth About $2 an Hour
www.forwardprogressives.com/ceo-and-former-republican-senate-candidate-mentally-retarded-worth-about-2-an-hour/
"Instead of having $2 an hour sweatshops like they have all over developing Asian countries, we’d have them here.
This whole argument is absolutely absurd. And Mr. Schiff’s ignorance about it was appalling."
