Another $3 trillion in debt from the "party of fiscal responsibility."

$900 million in Medicare cuts. This means increased drug and procedure uncovered costs for recipients for people who rarely have the income or means to cover it.

$2 trillion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years. The most probably impact: homelessness is likely to double and it will be primarily very elderly and disabled people who aren't able to care for themselves and lack family. ~18% of elder care homes will go out of business because they depend on Medicaid payments for the bulk of their funding. More people living under bridges.

Listen, we have only tried trickle down tax cuts for the last 40 years. This time it will work!
Pure cowardice from Mike Johnson and Chick Grassley, though I guess you can sort of understand why a 91-year old doesn’t care about selling out young people to line his own pockets.

It’s too bad young people don’t appear to care about being sold out.
