Let's see. First, the Republicans passed a phony Medicare drug benefit that was essentially just a giveaway to the big pharmaceutical companies. Then, they started going after Social Security. And now, they've decided that only some people -- specifically not the elderly -- are entitled to a little extra protection from the harsh new bankruptcy laws they're ramming through Congress this week.

What's this all about, anyway? Has the GOP become, well, objectively anti-senior citizen? I'm not sure. But it's certainly time for reasonable people to start asking the question.
