removing the Medicaid cuts - probably would pass...get most Dem votes and lots of GOP votes...

Result - They get the tax cuts for billionaires, no one gets kicked off of Medicaid, rural Hospitals stay open...only bad result is about another TRILLION of debt is added to the deficit.

Then when our debt is downgraded and people begin whining about why they cannot get anything done in terms of social safety net - the powers that be will just point to our DEBT.

Hey, it was a brief "headline" story. Basically the same difference though. mobeau69 Jul 15 #45

No. Trying to do a very narrow rescission bill is not the same as going back ex post facto and saying he wants his Yea Celerity Jul 15 #46

Same difference. mobeau69 Jul 16 #50
