Great Republican Ideas: Protect the Rich at the Expense of the Poor

What happened to the Republican’s Love of Medicare?
During the healthcare reform debate and buildup to the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans made much-to-do about the Democrats moving 500 billion dollars in Medicare savings (CBO estimate) to offset the cost of healthcare reform.

Cornyn Votes to Block Lending Package for Small Business!
So…are Senator Cornyn and the Republicans pro-business. I guess just Wall Street business as they have turned their back on small Texas business.
