BREAKING NEWS Republicans are now on record voting to cut off 616,000 students Pell Grants, cancel 22 million Americans health insurance, and gut crucial social safety-net programs like food stamps and job training assistance. We need to act immediately to show Ryans allies in state legislatures that this kind of extremism will not be tolerated. The Wisconsin Republican, whose term as Budget Committee chairman expires later this year, offered a last fiscal framework that included his controversial overhaul of Medicare and other entitlement programs, while also advocating a reduction of top individual tax rates down to 25 percent. Democrats blasted the proposal as a “windfall tax break for millionaires”, as Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) described it, and they vowed to make the 2014 midterm elections a referendum on Ryan’s proposals and its impact on the middle class. via John Stevenson
