MAGA Republicans are holding the economy hostage to force unpopular cuts to Medicaid, veterans’ health care, and other key programs.

But they don't actually care about the debt. (They added ~$7 trillion to it under Trump.)

They care about power and pleasing their rich donors.

stargazersmith,

@rbreich
Would it help to publicize the names of the primary donors the House is trying to placate during these budget battles?

MsNet,

@rbreich McCarthy has been forced to comply with insurrectionists in #HouseGOP or lose his SINO title! How dangerous of McCarthy willing to destroy the full faith & credit by refusing to raise debt ceiling unless cruel demands are met! He’s complying with extreme #MAGAs ransom note taking the economy over cliff! #RepJeffries #CNBC

jhy001,

@rbreich Repealing the #GOP tax cuts should be the answer to articulate in negotiations and the media. And bring back the 90% top tax rate, and initiate a wealth tax. All these should be obvious. The super rich are robbing everyone else and making the poor fund the country, and baiting the ignorant into fighting over crumbs to keep them too busy to see the truth. #Politics

EFreethought,

@rbreich To be fair, some of that $7B will due to COVID (which they said was a hoax).

But a lot of it was their tax cuts for the wealthy (which did not really make the economy grow any more quickly) and their general preference for yelling about fake problems instead of solving real ones.

@rbreich
Choosing to make drastic cuts to veterans' health care? Why such a suicidal course, acting against what the GOP long considered a core constituency?

Do they want to force veterans back into service? Or force them into private sector health insurance schemes - insurance, not health care - without the benefit of coverage for preexisting conditions, a big chunk of veterans' health care needs? Or do they just hate govt health care?

HumanityExists,

@rbreich Most of this country has NO idea what cutting Medicaid would look like. Walking Dead, literally. All those voting for politicians who support cutting these programs, will be be some of the first to suffer, due to these cuts. Put on the proverbial thinking 🧢, people. For your own sake.🙏🏻
