Pelosi: Proposed Budget Is ‘Literally a Killer’

‘They don’t believe in governance and they don’t believe in science’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "Some Republicans are saying this is dead on arrival, but this is like -- they voted for the Ryan budget. The Ryan budget contains many of the same things. In fact the Ryan budget also voucherizes Medicare. Medicare is a guarantee. The Ryan budget says it's no longer a guarantee, we're going to give you a voucher. It subscribes to their philosophy that Medicare should wither on the vine. So, we're [indecipherable] Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, this is a killer for the American people, a literally a killer. And as long as the public is aware of what is in these budgets -- and that's the important point, they have to know there is a price to pay in terms of public opinion if they would vote for this, but they all did already vote before the Ryan budget. So they've gone down this path before."
