The Republican Party wants to go back to the future to 1981 and President Reagan's voodoo economics. And who is directing this remake? The House Republicans and this administration. In just 1 year, this tax cut we have seen has virtually raided all of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds to provide for huge tax cuts to wealthy oilmen and other millionaires throughout this country. At the same time we have seen that Congress can no longer protect Social Security and the Medicare trust funds from bankruptcy because we need to pay for this Republican tax scheme somehow. I ask the American people to stay home and not buy a ticket to this show. It is a flop and it is a sham.
