Cassi Creek: Paul
Ryan continues to embody the GOP’ “get sick, die quick” faction’s contract on
America.
By reducing the
number of people receiving aid from our social safety nets; while concurrently eliminating
those services, he apparently intends to bring about a Malthusian solution to
the GOP’s declining voter base. It’s
simple. Ryan hopes to starve, neglect,
and remove affordable health care from that portion of the population most
likely to vote for Democratic candidates.
Paired with the GOP’s plans to obstruct voter registration and eliminate
as many opposing votes as they can by gerrymandering and other methods of
questionable legality, this could result in an unprecedented purging of voter
rolls designed to benefit only the GOP.
GOP state legislatures have been working to implement such bars to voter
registration for several years. Only
judicial oversight prevented some of these plans being put into play last
year. In other states, Florida and
Tennessee, the plans did deprive some voters of access to the polls.
The Ryan
budget has been carefully contrived to prevent any real reduction in those
things the GOP wants, defense industries spending and loopholes for the
wealthy. It is designed to place the
burden squarely on the poor and the former middle class.
Ashes, Ashes, all fall down.
