I hate when people dismiss facts based on who presented them. Far left nut jobs and far right nut jobs do themselves a disservice by ignoring anything that does not come from their hand picked sources. Uber libs sent me three comments about facts I presented this morning saying they refuse to read them based on a irrational hatred of the source.On Tuesday, House Republicans released their budget for 2019, along with a malignant plan to force cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare this year. On Thursday, the House Budget Committee passed that budget, preparing it to go to the floor.
They would cut the deficit by $8.1 trillion over the next 10 years largely by slashing mandatory and automatic spending programs. Like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. They'd take $5.4 trillion from these programs, including $1 trillion from Medicaid and $537 billion from Medicare over the next ten years. Another $5 billion would come from other healthcare programs. They'd also cut $4 billion from Social Security.
This budget isn't binding, even if the full House passes it. That's the good news. Here's the bad: they include broad reconciliation instructions that require $302 billion in mandatory program spending cuts, "among the highest such request in two decades." The reconciliation instructions are what allows the Senate to pass legislation with a simple majority, avoiding a Democratic filibuster. This is where it gets dangerous, because it sets up a sneak attack on Medicare and Medicaid in the lame duck session, after the election.
Even if Republicans lose their majority in the election, they'll retain it until January when the new Congress is sworn in. That gives them almost two months to do untold damage to these programs. Once the election is done, they don't have anything to lose anymore. If they keep their majorities, they'll do it in victory. If they lose, they'll do it out of spite.
In our favor, they are so loudly projecting this as their plan that it makes it easier to defeat the budget now, before it goes to the full floor and certainly before it goes to the Senate. That's how we stop it. Call 202-224-3121 to tell your representative to vote against this budget.
Republican budget plan to decimate Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security advances in House
Daily Kos? Lol! I’m not going to waste my time reading, if you have a real legitimate news site let us know.
The Senate will not pass it even by simple majority.
Four senators will desert the GOP in the vote.
When the dems get the house back, they need to immediately pass a budget with " $4 Trillion in mandatory program funding for CFPB, EPA, education, healthcare, and stimulus " requiring only a simple majority reconciliation vote, and then put pressure on enough Republicans in the Senate to get it passed and put in front of Trump.
Language in the bill requires the tax cut scam to go away, and be raised on the upper 1%, including eliminating the income cap on Social Security contribution taxes, and raising the capital gains tax to 30% on investment accounts over $5 million.

Inconsistent morons. You idiots are the ones that slashed Medicare to fund the failed Obamacare. Stay away from our money. You have no idea what the hell you are doing.

Won’t happen, but it’s a nice thought
You are dumb. Nothing else works. Just dumb. The middle class shrank because they moved up. Do your research.Lol. You greedy losers are great at spending other people's money. 4 trillion in mandatory spending? Fucking absolutely nuts.The Senate will not pass it even by simple majority.

Inconsistent morons. You idiots are the ones that slashed Medicare to fund the failed Obamacare. Stay away from our money. You have no idea what the hell you are doing.
Yes, $4 trillion in mandatory spending. We have been doing massive tax cuts since the 1980's which has been the cause of the shrinking middle class, infrastructure collapse, and income inequality. It is the number one reason for our massive deficits and national debt. Republicans cut taxes, and then borrow money. And kool aid drinking idiots such as yourself eat it up every time.
A $4 trillion spending bill would create a national health care system, which ends the need for a Medicaid system, create a national infrastructure spending initiative, which would create more full time jobs, keep them in place for decades, which creates more revenue for Social Security, and expand it at the same time.
We know exactly what we are doing. We've done it your way for decades and had three major economic crashes that were fixed by exactly the economic model I just outlined for you.
Or we can keep doing it your way which is a proven failure.
It takes a total idiot to think they can keep doing the same failed thing over and over and eventually it will work.
It doesn't. Supply side economics is a failure. Just like communism. they are one in the same. a purposely created failed economic systems that only benefit those in control.
Giving filthy rich people and large multi national corporations more tax cuts is only good for filthy rich people and multi national corporations, and nobody else.
And since you are to fucking stupid to come to that realization, you need to be removed from any economic decisions involving the country.

Unfortunately, I see a lot of dumb everywhere. Example: How hard is it to get up to highway speed on a on-ramp that is a half-mile long? Idiots everywhere.You are dumb.Lol.

Aren’t all lefties?
If this were to somehow pass, and I guess that's possible, it would be reversed later.That's how we stop it. Call 202-224-3121 to tell your representative to vote against this budget.
Like Hillary Clinton was guaranteed to win a landslide?Biff is quite wrong about the popularity of the proposed legislation: it should guarantee a GOP disaster in the elections for themselves.
Wrong James."The middle class shrank because they moved up" is wrong. It shrank since the Reagan years because of misguided Republican economic policy.
Jake, what was incorrect in the AEI article? Thanks.Jarlaxle is a masterdisaster of the fallacy of false equivalency. We are talking about the GOP raiding the American safety net, which has nothing to do with Hillary's campaign. She lost only because Comey decided she should lose not because Trump beat her.
JBond does not understand just how slanted on economics is the AEI. He needs much more than that as a source to make his argument.
However, I did note that the AEI was right about Kim being the victor at Singapore.
