Yeah, a CR by itself isn't earth-shattering. I agree. But it was bipartisanship. These days, that is earth-shattering.

The FC is nuts, frankly. Cut 8% from Medicare? A lot of practices don't even accept Medicare because the reimbursement rates are lower than they can tolerate. Just as a "for example". The FC has a roast with some fat on it, and they want to chop 8% of that roast on the assumption that the fat is evenly distributed. They're going to waste a lot of meat.

Reverse the Trump tax cuts. And then reverse the Bush tax cuts. Most of them were aimed at the 1% anyway, who are just stashing the cash. That's how you address the ballooning debt.

If you have to cut, cut like a surgeon. Not Jack the Ripper. But if you're not willing to raise taxes, then you aren't really serious about addressing the budget deficit or national debt.
