Elizabeth Warren just wiped the floor with Paul Ryan's new 'poverty agenda' (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/6/8/1536276/-Elizabeth-Warren-just-wiped-the-floor-with-Paul-Ryan-s-new-poverty-agenda)

Paul Ryan unveiled his—and by extension, what’s left of the Republicans’—“Poverty Agenda.” It consists of the same old bullshit ideas Paul Ryan and his cohorts always have: (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/7/1535536/-Paul-Ryan-s-new-anti-poverty-plan-a-rehash-of-old-proposals-to-punish-poor-people) Poor people stink and they’re lazy and the best way to deal with them is to try to starve them to death so that they disappear. It’s more diplomatically worded, of course. Elizabeth Warren took to her Facebook account (https://www.facebook.com/senatorelizabethwarren/posts/603798836449280)to deliver a relatively succinct spanking to the “future” of the Republican Party.


Speaker Paul Ryan just announced the Republicans’ “poverty agenda” – and it looks more like an agenda for creating poverty than reducing it. In fact, if you look closely, Paul Ryan’s new plan is just a shiny repackaging of Paul Ryan’s old plan: Keep huge tax breaks and special loopholes open for billionaires and giant corporations, gut the rules on Wall Street, then say there’s no money for Social Security, for Medicare, for education, or anything else that will help struggling working families.


Speaker Ryan has fancy new buzzwords, but the American people won’t be duped. It’s good to see that progressives are ready with a serious agenda to tackle poverty: one that lays out policies to boost wages, improve access to good jobs, ensure fair scheduling at work, and provide real ways to help families get ahead. We need to fight for policies that level the playing field for working families, rather than set them back.


I couldn’t have said it more diplomatically myself

So the House Repubs introduced a detailed plan, Warren said it sucs and that's wiping the floor. Sounds more like Warren and Dems are pissed they didn't produce something first.

Paul Ryan is more dangerous than Trump. He is the slick little guy who drew up the budget while running with Mitt. It attempted to literally gut both Social Security and Medicare and it is still his intention.

Isn't that typical; Liberuls still think their Socialist cradle to grave welfare statist mentality is new and refreshing as opposed to REAL ideas to get people out of Government dependency.

It's a decent plan. It focuses on helping the truly needy while reducing welfare fraud. It doesn't attempt to get rid of SS, but it does advocate allowing small businesses more leeway in purchasing 401K's for their workers. It also suggests not forcing the taxpayers to bail out pension funds, which seems very fair, since many of those taxpayers don't even have a pension of their own.

I'm really interested in hearing what the libs don't like about it. And, why.

Well lets just take a look at those pesky little FACTS, According to Cigar's Signature, they matter

I think that we can all agree that things could get a lot better for the Middle Class, our Seniors and the poor.

And we are nearly 8 years into the Leadership and Policies of the Democrats.

#1 The working people are making 5K less per year, than the day that President Obama took office

#2 The Middle class has lost 40% of their wealth since the day that Obama took office.

#3 Senior Citizens with inflation, and No cost of living increases, Higher Medical costs, and SS and Medicare are in the final stages and are going to go bust.

#4 There are nearly 10 million fewer people working today, than the day that Obama took office

#5 There are 14 million people that are under employed in the USA today.

#6 There are 45 million more people on some form of Government Assistance, since the day that Obama took office

I think we all, Including Hillary Clinton (who is going to put her Husband Bill In charge of reviving the economy, because he knows how to do it)

And when you look at this, you would have to say that Bill Clinton did have a Great Economy, so that would be a good thing to copy, I think that we all can agree on that? Am I right

So how did he do it.

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2008/03/tax-cuts-not-the-clinton-tax-hike-produced-the-1990s-boom

Holy Crap, Bill Clinton gave a bigger tax cut to the wealthy, than Reagan?

What else did he do?

https://www.ssa.gov/history/clntstmts.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Responsibility_and_Work_Opportunity_Act

Holy Shit? Bill Clinton Reformed entitlements and even Spot about privatizing SS???

Is there anything else that He did to make America Prosperous??

http://library.uwb.edu/static/USimmigration/1996_illegal_immigration_reform_and_immigrant_resp onsibility_act.html

You are not going to believe this? Bill Clinton Cracked down on illegal immigration.

So now lets compare that road map for success?

Well you are not going to believe this but it is possible that Paul Ryan is Bill Clinton

Warren said it was just a repackaging of the same plan.

Reckon she lied ?? or maybe she just repackaged the same ol demogogery.
