Burn in hell, Eddie Munster.
Another rinse and repeat.
Act like it’s a okay right up to where it’s time to vote.
Pull it or vote and really get bitch slapped.
What ya gonna do wizbanger???
Did I miss the hearings and opportunities for amendments?
Ryan promised regular order! This isn’t regular order! Liar!! DipShit!!
Of course it will the House Repubs are worthless. I’ve gotten to the point that I hope all my friends/family that voted Republican in the last election lose their jobs, homes, go broke etc. The idiots will probably blame the democrats but, JFC i want them to feel the squeeze for their stupidity.

This should be called “The Reckless and Irresponsible Bill” or the “Let’s Do Something to Show That We Can Do Something Bill.”
Nice statement, but I wish the Dems would learn that “deliberate falsehood” packs a lot bigger punch when it’s spelled L - I - E.
So the Russ-thugs (Republicans) in states that have state & local income taxes, they’re ready to impose a tax increase on their constituents and their states?
The money saved by doing away with the individual mandate was collected via the 3.5% tax on the capital gains of individuals making more than $250,000/year and couples making more than $500,000/year plus some medical device taxes. That revenue is still coming into the ACA since the tax remains in effect after the GOP failed to repeal the healthcare bill. Is it really possible for the GOPers to take money intended for subsidies that allow low and middle income Americans the ability to finally afford to purchase health insurance and give it away in tax cuts to corporations? Has anyone seen reporting addressing this? Does that revenue raised by the capital gains tax go into the general fund or was it collected specifically for the subsidy program of the ACA? Can these smirking bastards really transfer revenue collected for the ACA that easily?
…or maybe call it “Giving Back to the Koch Bros and other donors bill”.
May be a dumb question but the language of that CBO statement is beyond my complete comprehension so could you offer a brief synopsis?
And these sneaky bastards decided to chuck in repealing part of the ACA, too- right after they heard enrollments are up 47% over last year- even with the GOP sabotage! Swine!.
Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

“The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that H.R. 1 would increase on-budget deficits by about $1,456 billion over the period from 2018 to 2027. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and revenues.”
The pay as you go part means they should cut spending an equal amount. Since that is impossible, they are faking it by making all the tax cuts for ordinary people (but not the wealthy, and not the tax increases) expire after 10 years.
Its a time bomb.
Also, i dont think this is a proper CBO score, it was done by committee staff, with a CBO analyst looking over their shoulders.
