Rep. Marsha Blackburn, hanging out with other sociopaths.

Republicans, having managed to kick off their massive social reengineering project that will siphon money away from everyone to give it to the one percent with passage of the tax cuts scam, are gleefully plotting the next step—making poor and old and disabled people even poorer, hungrier, and sicker. Here's Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on what the House is going to try to do next.

"We're not talking about taking away benefits from those who deserve those benefits," Blackburn said on the Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures." "The goal is to make certain that those who deserve and need those benefits get everything that they're entitled to," she continued. "You do it by making the system more efficient, by innovating, utilizing health-care technology."

It's all back to Reagan and his welfare queens, isn't it. All those undeserving people—like the working poor who can only get health care through Medicaid, or the disabled people who can't work who get Social Security disability insurance—they're on the chopping block. And when they're talking about "making the system more efficient"? That's code for Medicare privatization.
