The Red Plate Special
Submitted by Jean Carnahan on April 3, 2009 - 1:58pm
Like a menu from a greasy diner, the Boehner, Bachmann, Blunt budget offers a gut-busting bill of fare. Here’s what they’re wanting to dish up to Americans hungry for change and economic recovery. The GOP “Red-Plate Special” looks like this:
- Frozen Discretionary Spending, half-baked and served atop a Bubbling Recession
- Chopped Medicaid, diced and fricasseed; served in small portions
- Tax-Cut Soufflé, a puffy, mouthwatering treat for the wealthiest only
- Deficits Jubilee, a generous serving every day through 2080
The Boehner, Bachmann, Blunt budget “menu” is so unappetizing that even many of the GOP members in the House have gagged over it. Clearly, the American people have no stomach for such a cruel serving of leftovers even when garnished with a sprig of mugwort.
