If Trump Did Sign That Bill Now Then Medicare Cuts Start On January 1, 2018.

Unless Congress corrects it . Supposedly Trump Was Not Supposed To Sign It Until after January 1. The same thing was reported on Thom Hartmann yesterday. I believe the GOP wanted To wait so the cuts would not appear until after November.

2. no, we helped the GOP waive PAYGO

It was in the CR that was passed on Friday. Once again the dems letting the GOP off the hook.

4. That's correct. PayGo was waived.

5. Assuming That PAYGO Waved Means Cut Avoided For Now.

6. Yes. The automatic cuts won't go into effect.

McTurtle has even said they won't go after Medicare in 2018. He could be lying but this payoff to their donors was such a mess and so unpopular even he knows he needs to stay away from Medicare (and hopefully Soc Sec) until after the midterms.

3. That is what Trump's game plan was,

and watch Health Care go to hell real quick. BTW,the Market reacted down this Morning.

7. I was wondering how fast this was going to start.

I am wondering how soon it is going to be to also loose Soc-Sec, EBT cards, and subsidized housing. A lot of are going to be screwed. I feel the most for the children. Not to sound selfish but I am also scared about what is going to happen to me. This all sucks!!
