The House Budget Committee did not take measures to protect systems like Medicare and Social Security on Thursday, despite advancing legislation to create a bipartisan fiscal commission designed to find a solution to the government’s budget.
The committee approved the bill 22-12, with three Democrats joining Republicans in passing the measure.
The ongoing effort to privatize social security and Medicare, the most successful and popular welfare programs in US history continues. Neoliberal Regannomics marching on like an undead litch.
