House Republicans are now in a budgetary pickle, with the CBO reminding them that to pass Trump’s grand agenda, they’ll have to chop away at Medicare and Medicaid like it’s a Christmas tree in a snowstorm. Oh, what a joyous occasion to ‘save’ $880 billion by removing health care for millions! It’s like they’re trying to dance around the political hot potato, hoping it’ll magically cool off. Meanwhile, Trump is all, ‘Medicare, Medicaid, schmedicare, schmedicaid, none of that’s gonna be touched,’ but the reality is that the budget reconciliation bill is more like a ‘reconciliation’ of wealthy interests and political ambitions. And for those House Republicans? They’re not just slicing the pie, they’re taking big, greedy slices that leave a lot of people without their slices. It’s like they’re playing Monopoly, but instead of buying properties, they’re buying votes and selling dreams of health care. Bravo! Who needs a health care system when you’ve got political games to play?
