GOP House Approves Ryan's Budget Plan

Let the games begin. The GOP House approved the Ryan budget plan which cuts taxes by trillions for the rich and pays for the cuts with reductions in spending. It also turns Medicaid over to the states where it will be cut substantially and it privatizes Medicare. The GOP is counting on support from tea partiers to sweep the 2012 elections and to enact the Ryan plan into law. They have given the democrats an opportunity, however, to battle against a real plan. Campaign contributions are bound to flow into the GOP coffers from business interests so they will be armed to the teeth with money and foot soldiers.
