John Avlon: GOP has tried to slash Medicaid for 40 years, only to have it yanked away.
He says GOP is trying to cut Social Security, Medicare and defense spending off the table.
Avlon says the GOP is more about cutting taxes than it is raising revenues.
He asks: Half of the $2 trillion in Medicaid cuts would come from a work requirement.
A million veterans' families are on food stamps, he says.
He previously served as reporter, bureau chief and Washington editor for The Wall Street Journal. For almost a quarter century he wrote a column on politics for The Wall Street Journal, then The International New York Times and Bloomberg View. He hosts Politics War Room with James Carville.
