U.S. Budget Negotiations

[Calheel]

I don't think the Pubs can possibly hide a bill of this magnitude, nor do they want to. It's not as if we're going to stop talking about this issue.

They are certainly trying to hide parts of the bill, like delaying Medicaid cuts until after the 2026 election.

There has never been a more feckless, spineless, cuck of a human being to hold the Speaker's gavel than Mike Johnson. Not even Kevin McCarthy.

So they cut ~12 million off Medicaid who will presumably use the ER as their primary care driving up healthcare costs for everyone.

They don't need to hide anything. Their voters have permission to believe anything that feels good, and Rs will offer them plenty of familiar targets for their anger over any pain caused by this bill.

Unless they live in a rural area as those hospitals basically survive off Medicaid…

I could be talked out of this, but I'm modestly in favor of a constitutional amendment that would make only ER doctors and nurses eligible to vote for federal office holders.

It's about to pass. Strap in for drive-by gloating, because some people's only joy comes from seeing liberals upset.

You think they'll defend it? The contours of the bill have been known for weeks now but our House Pubs have been conspicuously absent. Why would they show up now when they've been sitting on their dicks for the last few weeks?

To be fair to you, I have no doubt they'll show up to gloat. But it won't be to defend the bill on its merits. It will only be Team A > Team B. And there are two reasons for that. (1) They have no idea how the bill could be defended on its merits, and (2) Nothing matters except a "win" over Team B.

So congrats, Team A. You bought the farm. Let's see what it produces over the next few months.

Yes, I think it's as simple as that.

Applause for passing the least Christian bill of all time.

The fake Republicans will NOT be holding town halls during the July 4th break.

Right, but it's not as if people are going to stop talking about those cuts.

That’s literally why they love Trump so much. He is the master troll the Libs guy. They don’t give a shit he’s a horrible president and person.

He is the ultimate pussy . Spineless ass licking bitch.

Talking about it gets forgotten. The full repercussions won't happen until after Trump leaves office. Pubs will find some way to point the finger at Dems for the problems they caused. MAGAs won't care about a crisis that primarily affects the marginalized and disenfranchised segments of society.

 

[mpaer]

Okay
Ya'll please post anything you might see the next day or two about the phasing of this thing Specifically when do we start throwing people off of Medicaid

Most of the Medicaid changes go into effect after the mid term elections.

This guy dumping stock in his Medicaid provider company holding probably eased his pain in having to vote yes on the BBB...

Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA) was caught selling stock for a company providing Medicaid exchanges just days before President Donald Trump's so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill" was expected to pass with drastic cuts to the program.Quiver Quantitative first reported that Bresnahan recently began...
