The budget proposal in the House is a complete disaster for the majority of Americans, and MUST be blocked. Although I am heartened to hear some Republicans say they won’t support it, I fear that threats to life and livelihood will compel them to change their minds. I am holding out hope that some will find their spines and their consciences and vote this proposal down. 🤞🏻

You know the R Freedom Caucus doesn't want to approve it because they think they aren't cutting enough. They are downright nuts.

Right now? We'll take the "nuts." The more time it is delayed, the better chance we have of derailing it all together.

That's a good reason for the dems to call them out on their claims "savings" from cuts will reduce the deficit. They're trying to make draconian cuts palatable by implying they'll reduce the deficit instead of admitting to their real plan: to extend the billionaire tax cuts.

If they can't find their spines, they ought to at least look out for their long-term interests. The entire economy will be ruined by their rampant corruption and theft of our tax dollars, and that will bring everybody down sooner or later.

I agree, unfortunately, that many republicons fear for retribution from Don Trumpleone. Think of Paul Pelosi's fractured skull.

I share your concerns that they are afraid of retribution from Don Trumpleone and the Magats. Think of Paul Pelosi and his fractured skull.

The Repubs who are saying they won't support it are lying -- those statements are just for show. They will go along with whatever Trusk wants because they don't want to lose their cushy jobs.
