Paul Krugman Has a Brutal Message for American Taxpayers | Alternet
Last month, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) came under fire for celebrating the $1.50 weekly raise
a public school secretary stands to gain from the recently passed Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act. Ryan's outrageous statement is even more preposterous
if you actually crunch the numbers. As Paul Krugman writes in his
Thursday column, "How’s that $75-a-year saving going to look when the
[secretary] finds out that, partly because of that tax cut, her mother’s
Medicare plan has been converted into an inadequate voucher system and
Medicaid won’t pay for her father’s nursing home care?"
