Wheel of Misfortune:
JOHN KASICH OF OHIO?!
Wall Street's gift to Ohio, this ex-Lehman Brothers managing director pressured Ohio officials to invest public pension funds in Lehman. Kasich got rich, seniors lost their savings.......
- Kasich is the first Ohio governor since 1962 with no African-American cabinet appointments. When challenged by an African-American legislator, he said, "We don't need your people."
- He proposed a 16% cut for schools, major cuts in Medicaid and nursing home care, and privatization of roads and prisons.....
The website is the work of National Nurses United. Nurses, teachers, firefighters, police officers, and all public employees should take a look at the "Wheel of Misfortune" and the goals of National Nurses United.
* Americans do not like the Republican plan. They do not like it, here or there. They do not like it anywhere.
According to a Post-ABC Poll and published at the Post:
......78 percent oppose cutting spending on Medicare as a way to chip away at the debt. On Medicaid — the government insurance program for the poor — 69 percent disapprove of cuts......
.....In his speech last week, the president renewed his call to raise tax rates on family income over $250,000, and he appears to hold the high ground politically, according to the poll. At this point, 72 percent support raising taxes along those lines, with 54 percent strongly backing this approach. The proposal enjoys the support of majorities of Democrats (91 percent), independents (68 percent) and Republicans (54 percent). Only among people with annual incomes greater than $100,000 does less than a majority “strongly support” such tax increases.....
It appears that the Republican plan to end Medicare and Medicaid, as written by Rep. Paul Ryan is extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely unpopular. We do not like it anywhere.
