I'm in mourning today after watching the big, ugly bill get passed and aware of the cruel ramifications. [View all]
So many will be negatively impacted by the sheer cruelty of cutting health care, SNAP, CHIP, etc. just so megadonors and ultra-wealthy can enjoy their tax cut (now permanent). Immigrants, veterans, Medicaid and Medicare recipients, rural health care clinics (patients and employees) will all be hurt by this.
This was a travesty and it's 900 plus pages have "with malice aforethought" undermined those who need it most. Once again, the cruelty is the point.
And Drumpf holds a rally and says: "They hate Trump. That's ok, I hate them too." Now that's presidential Mr. Divider in Chief.
Hakeem did his best, and for that I am grateful.
Take care, DU'ers. Hope you're doing better than me.
ED
