The plan the Republicans are advancing,
in House and in the Senate,
is far more reckless than the earlier plan
as far as what it does to Medicare and
other programs important to America.
The plan wouldn't just destroy Medicare,
it would destroy Social Security as well.
This plan is so reckless
it would've made president Reagan’s
fiscal policies unconstitutional.
Republicans want seniors to feel the
pain
while millionaires and oil companies
don't feel a thing.
We have a different view.
we believe in taking a balanced approach
that cuts spending,
while closing taxpayer loopholes.
We also believe in compromise.
Especially when our entire economy hangs
in the balance.
A Gallup poll released early this morning
showed that two-thirds of Americans want
their leaders to compromise
quote, “even if it means policymakers have
to accept a plan
with provisions
they don't like.”
