If GOP said Jobs are #1, why are they going after Privatizing Medicare and Social Security?

[FLSwampBoy]

GOP got real quiet during election season on these topics. Now, they're back to what they believe all along. The next Stock Market crash will really work out well with these new programs in place.

Do GOP voters ever remember these things?

House GOP considers privatizing Medicare – “WASHINGTON – Months after they hammered Democrats for cutting Medicare, House Republicans are debating whether to relaunch their quest to privatize the health program for seniors. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is testing support for his idea to replace Medicare with a fixed payment to buy a private medical plan from a menu of coverage options….”

"Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the second-ranking Republican in the House, said in an interview this week that he supported a proposal to create private investment accounts within Social Security..."

"Mr. Boehner has repeatedly refused to take Social Security privatization off the table and has described the GOP's alternative budget proposal - which will privatize Social Security and end Medicare as we know it - as "a pretty good list of options" when it comes to dealing with the deficit."

"Mr. Pence has been an ardent supporter of Social Security privatization for years. In 2005, he co-wrote a letter to President Bush with Congressman John Shadegg urging private accounts: "We urge you to continue to pursue personal carve- out accounts as the long run solution for Social Security's actuarial shortcomings." [Letter from Mike Pence and John Shadegg to President George W. Bush, 4/15/05]"
