House GOP plan would cut Medicare, Medicaid to balance budget

That 1.5 TRILLION dollars added to our debt by that tax cut for people with estates and corporations are intended to come right from our health care . . .

Deficit or debt issues. The elite are scared of democrats and a blue wave that will place taxes back on those who need to pay it...if we make the 2018 election on cutting so and Medicare, GOP loses even bigger...look at states that have significant numbers of retirees...Florida, Arizona, Texas and what a few hundred thousand voters switch from GOP to democrats. We win senate seats, governors, congress districts.

for the war machine. never, never, never.

The richest country in the world and we won't house our people or feed them honorably.

What a joke we are.

Guess I'll write my congresscritter and see if he cares.
