"THIS is the guy who did the tax cuts for the 1%...THIS is the guy who wants to take health care from millions."

He's also the guy who is plotting to take SNAP benefits away from 3 million people, and while he's doing that, Mick Mulvaney is quietly working behind the scenes on re-defining the poverty index so that the Republican dream of gutting Social Security can become a reality.
