Remember, the CBO scored the GOP bill BEFORE Trump's odious budget.

The GOP's problem with their first healthcare bill was that it wasn't awful enough. It had to be worse. And they knew it. That's why they passed it in only days. The CBO said that in less than 10 years, over 51 millions Americans will be thrown off their healthcare.

Remember when the GOP cried that Obamacare was passed without enough time to study it? Because 18 months wasn't nearly enough time. Not like 18 f*cking days.

Now there are estimates that a million people could die in the first year. This is where we get two different reactions. For Democrats and Independents, the reaction is "That's terrible. We can't allow this to happen. What kind of country are we to accept this?"

But to Republicans, it's a toast and a boast "Good beginning. Just getting started". Because they understand that all the massive cuts to social support programs and children's healthcare, it will end up being oh so much more WORSE.

Too bad the CBO score didn't come out BEFORE Trump's meeting with the Pope. Imagine how that would have went. He might have even said the people who passed this budget are the people God wanted to drown.

Republicans on the USMB angry that I print the GOP's top 10 list of people they hate:


1. Gays
2. Muslims
3. Blacks
4. Hispanics
5. Liberals
6. Jews
7. Women's rights
8. Sick and disabled
9. College professors
10. Scientists

But their evil policies are tied to who they hate.

Factor in Trump's awful cuts to Medicare and other social safety nets and Americans die and Republicans cheer.

I'll have to keep an eye out to figure out what they church says.
