A Modest GOP Proposal: 21st Century Eugenics

Karen Garcia at Sardonicky - 14 hours ago
Paul Ryan to the Plutocracy: Eat Poor Children Well Another year, another Republican health plan. The 2017 edition of Eugenics USA Inc. is even more blatantly savage than usual, given that the GOP now controls all three branches of government. The Democrats are again reduced to feebly defending the market-based kludge grotesquely known as the Affordable Care Act. Countering the Republicans with a single payer, Medicare for All plan is apparently asking way too much of them. Ironically, it's the hardcore ("Freedom Caucus") conservative wing of the GOP which may end up granting a re... more »
