Obama talks about the Republican worldview of "trickle down" economics where they cut foodstamps, medicaid, and social security



From thenewcivilrightsmovement.com:
Giving the Republicans “credit,” the President said, “they do have one original idea, which is to repeal Obamacare — because they haven’t tried that 50 times. Fifty times they’ve tried to do that. So that means they would take away health coverage not only for more than 7 million Americans who’ve done the responsible thing, signed up, bought health care for themselves and their families, but for the 3 million young adults who’ve been able to stay on their parents’ plan under this law. What I just told you about being able to stay on your parent’s plan — the Republicans don’t like that.” 
“And their budget guts the rules we put in place to protect middle-class families from another financial crisis like the one that we’ve endured. So if this all sounds familiar, it should be familiar because it was their economic plan in the 2012 campaign, it was their economic plan in 2010. It’s like that movie Groundhog Day — except it’s not funny. If they tried to sell this sandwich at Zingerman’s, they’d have to call it the Stinkburger, or the Meanwich.
