They were so outraged that Grandma might be denied a heart transplant by President Obama’s completely fictional death panels. Now a Republican-contolled House panel has voted to cut Meals on Wheels.

Well, there are priorities, see.

The heartless GOP, led by Private Ryan in the House, wants to cut $260B in domestic spending to shield the Pentagon from automatic budget cuts at the end of the year. Those programs include food stamps, Medicaid and the child tax credit.

Even the GOP cheerleader Wall Street Journal today reported the severity of the slashing, pointing out that Ryan’s plan would strip funding from the “Meals on Wheels” program. Geez, that’s way over the top.

The rampage continued today as the GOP blocked a Democratic bill to prevent the doubling of interest rates on student loans. Without Senate action, the interest rate will rise to 6.8 percent on July 1.

Hey, bedridden old folks are unlikely to vote, especially if they don’t have a proper voter ID.
