What are the Republicans going to take from the American people to pay for the billionaire tax breaks?  

Mostly what I’ve been seeing in the info ecosystem is the emphasis on Medicaid cuts. But Medicare and Social Security are also in their sights. Here is an explanation of the process and why Republicans have put forth few details  at this time.

Alex Lawson, President of Social Security Works is Thom Hartmann’s guest.  

“If you watch Bloomberg, CNBC, or one of these Wall St. focused channels, they say it openly: If you’re going to give this $4.5 trillion tax handout, which they desperately want, plus $4 trillion on the debt ceiling, you have to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Wall St. is really clear. They never don’t say all three.” – Alex Lawson
