    They’d just use it as an excuse to cut more programs.

    Hell, according to the CBO, the current bill is guaranteed to cause an imbalance in the budget, which thanks to existing pay go rules means across the board cuts to everything, including Medicare.

    This way they didn’t purposely or directly fuck over Medicare. It was just an oopsie.

      Sure, but compared to right now where your tax dollars are directly funding ICE… I dunno, I’m not sure it’s so clear cut as good or bad.
