RNC Chair Priebus Criticizes Obama For Cutting Medicare, Then Touts Paul Ryan’s Medicare-Busting Budget
thinkprogress.org

Throughout the health care debate, Republicans attacked reform as a raid on Medicare because it cut $500 billion from the program. But now as Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) introduces a new budget plan that would privatize Medicare completely, Republicans will have to square their previous attacks against ‘Obamacare’ with their endorsement of Ryan’s plan. This morning on NBC’s today show, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus audaciously tried to have it both ways — criticizing Obama for cutting Medicare subsidies while endorsing Ryan’s Medicare-busting proposal:

PRIEBUS: [Obama] has completely trashed Medicare by raiding it by $500 billion to provide us a government-run health care program that nobody wants. … I think even the hardest Democrats would agree that if we don’t get serious about where Medicare, and Social Security and Medicaid are going in this country, then we are about to walk off a fiscal cliff. [...]

Paul Ryan and Speaker Boehner introducing a serious as a heart attack budget this morning that will tackle $6 trillion over the next ten years in spending in this country. It’s the Republicans that are serious about these issues. It’s the President that’s filling out NCAA brackets, going to the Jonas Brothers and golfing and not tackling any of these issues and only criticizing Republicans.
