What Real Leaders Do
Tuesday brought a welcome blast of truth-telling among the grown-ups on Capitol Hill. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., unveiled a politically risky proposal to curb federal deficits and pay down the national debt.
Apparently according to the Chicago Tribune cutting Medicaid and privatizing Medicare so that no senior will ever be able to afford the healthcare they need, all in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires -- is their definition of 'leadership'.
And maybe it is, but not in this country, not in this state, not in this city.
Dear Mr. Bankruptcy Judge, please shut this odious operation down now!
