Just like I predicted, despite all the predictioms that the cuts would pay for themselves and nothing need be cut.

ummm….receipts are UP. The frickery was the SPENDING part of the bill(s)


It is as if I take a second job paying 20K more and Mrs. BHP spends 30k more and her complaining that my extra job is costing us 10k

So liberals now conceded with the deficit? You didn’t give two shits the last 8 years.

Will less or more people die from that...compared to the billions that died because of tax reform?

Why do cuts have to "pay for themselves"?

You are conflating some pretty distinct issues here.

Only socialists, the new left, and RINOs don't think spending cuts need to be made.

I just watched the video in your link

It is the EXACT opposite of your title

Mr. Stivers is AGAINST cutting Medicare and SS

Your thread title is a lie

The deficits will never be paid down. It may be reduced at times but no one Democrat, Republican, Independant or Libertarian have any intention of ever paying it down. Paper debt get over it.

Cuts need to be made, but start with Medicaid first.

The government made promises it couldn't keep and the people who voted them into power should feel the consequences first.

Hail Michigan - Stivers has been talking about "reform" of these programs for years. And reform does not mean, to him, more of them.
