2. Hearing Franken put it all together drives home exactly what's going on w/that bill.

The bill is outrageous, cold, and cruel. It's not what any democratic government should be doing or would want to do. A democratic government. I fear that they are intentionally trying to shred what little we have left of a democracy.

We need to win back one of the houses of Congress next year. We MUST. If any of these cruel plans pass, they must be rolled back asap.

If the tax cuts pass, though...that would be hard to roll back. Look what happened w/the Bush tax cuts. They were extended during the Obama administration (because of the recession, I guess), and then partly expired, but partly retained.
