Yep. Headline has it totally backwards

So, is this “retraining” boondogle still being funded by raiding Medicare? You’d think Democrats would care about that. You’d think competent reporting on the bill would say.

Yep. Headline has it completely backwards, and needlessly wordy. “House Dems Drop Effort Against Job Retraining Bill” would work just fine.
