Because Paris Hilton Really Needs Another Tax Cut
 
The Radical Republicans in the House and Senate have reached a deal on the budget. Just in case there are any lingering doubts as to the state of our democracy the Reuters blurb makes it clear that we're fast approaching the end of the republic. "[T]he negotiations, in which Democrats were not allowed to take part, produced an agreement among Republicans to get $10 billion in savings over five years from Medicaid, the health care program for the poor that is run jointly by the states and federal government." Excluding the Democrats is an easy way to make sure that the Radical Republican agenda of fucking the poor and running the country into the ground can continue unabated. I'm really curious about exactly what the Radical Republicans were negotiating over, whether to fuck the poor a bunch or a whole bunch? Just remember, when the folks kicked off Medicare end up in the emergency room and are unable to pay the bill, the rest of us will end up paying the bill one way or another.
