Same old song and dance!

It really doesn’t matter who the Republicans nominate for president in 2016 because all of them want to cut taxes for the rich and increase spending for national defense. War is good business.

That’s the recipe Ronald Reagan and the two Bushes used to increase the national debt by trillions of dollars.

They’ll want to cut spending for social programs like Medicare and Medicaid and privatize Social Security. You know — programs that benefit working class Americans.

They sell it by appealing to the moral values and religious beliefs of voters, especially those who oppose abortion and gay marriage, issues that have nothing to do with government.

The GOP controlled U. S. House approved a 10-year budget that cuts taxes for corporations and the rich, raises military spending, slashes spending for social programs and repeals the Affordable Care Act.

Yes, all of our Republican Pennsylvania congressmen, and Pat Toomey, our republican senator, voted for it.

It’s just the same old song and dance!
