Official thoughts on the stupidity of the administration’s gutting of manufacturing investments:
truly insane
One of Sen. Ernst's constituents points out that people are going to die if Republicans' cuts to Medicaid go through. Ernst's response?

The House is amending its reconciliation bill to terminate clean energy investment even earlier.
The Senate is shredding its rulebook in order to destroy a cornerstone of the Clean Air Act.
The consequences will be felt for a long long time.

The House Republicans spending bill is Robin Hood in reverse. It smashes provisions like Medicaid and food assistance for poor Americans to give tax cuts to the already wealthy and big corporations.

The House Republican budget plan would eviscerate Medicaid and food assistance and shift resources toward the wealthiest Americans.
