Republicans Can’t Scrounge Up $8 Billion for Children’s Medical Care

This is a good time to remind everyone that Republicans just passed a budget that contained instructions for a net $1.5 trillion tax cut that will mostly benefit corporations and the rich. But $8 billion in net spending increases to provide medical care for kids? Sorry. Can’t be done. Gotta watch the deficit, you understand.

Or maybe they could fund CHIP and settle for a $1.492 trillion tax cut? That’s out of the question, of course.

1. They care more about an unborn fetus

than they do about young human beings. Evil hypocrites!

2. Yep

It is all about giving it all to the super rich and to hell with anyone else. Can't believe these bastards have so much power in this country.

3. An unborn fetus cost the religious right nothing

Living breathing poor children would cost them a few dollars so...oh well should have been born rich.

Die quick kid and decrease the surplus population ok?
