Speaker Boehner and House Republicans came out of the last two weeks with some serious stumbles on the Medicare front. It’s still unclear whether the Ryan Medicare Phase-Out Plan is even still on the table. And now we see the usual tack. Respond to internal weakness by radically increasing demands. No compromises, massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
I’m very curious to see the Democrats’ and the White House’s response. The available evidence suggests that the Republican position has little support outside the base of the Republican party.
