What do they care ??? Their $174, 000+ salaries, golden healthcare, and completely funded retirement are sheltered from any of this.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT !!!!

[THE-X-Force]

Every single one of them is getting "FREE" healthcare (just like Medicaid / Medicare .. but better). I'd like to see them work 80 hours a month .. and I don't mean on FUNDRAISING, but actually doing their jobs, which they barely show up for at all.

I also want them all randomly drug-tested if they're going to continue receive tax-payer money and all the other "Freebie Entitlements" they get, which are actually not free, but tax-payer funded.

If the GOP really wants to cut spending, then they should pass a bill to reduce salaries and cancel all lifetime retirement benefits for all past, current and future US Senators and members of US Congress and their families.

President Biden should do an afternoon and prime-time speech on TV. Explaining slowly and methodology what cuts Republicans want and who they would harm.

[kellifranklin]

I hope Pres Biden gives an Oval Office prime time speech and explain to the country what the GOP and McCarthy are doing. The whole country needs to know whose responsible for this bullshit.

[NiteMare]

I'd like to know where in the Bible it commands them to constantly crap on the poor. Greed is a sin last time I checked.

[BeachPeach]

Here's a novel idea....how about if the Millionaires and Billionaires in this country pay the same percentage in personal income tax as the rest of us? Imagine That!

[sheilawinston]

As if Kev gives a damn about the American people; he only cares about his power and retaining the speakership at any cost

[jimmythetout]

Some journalist has to ask McCarthy if he's willing to hold a town meeting in front of a couple hundred voters explain to them why they should have all their benefits slashed the US could pay the bills run up under Trump

[tridentyyz]

This is why Biden called them out in his State of the Union.

[Mgpcc]

Biden should come out Strong on TV and ask the country to weigh in on this calamity!

[warrinbang]

The work requirements are a meanspirited ruse orchestrated to eliminate social programs, by making it difficult for recipients to meet the requirements.

[Leonaza]

Remember republicans cheering to cut border security, veterans medical care, abs regulation ability to keep our food safe.

[MicrophonesInTheTrees]

A party whose sole raison d'etre is retribution of imagined grievances is not a rational one.

[BluetheRaccoon]

As someone with a degenerative health condition, and whose family has these very same conditions...if I could work 20hrs a week, I already would be. I've fought off and on for years to get SSDI and am too young, regardless of health. If I lose medicaid, I'll die. I gave 6 of the healthiest years of my life to the army already, I at least deserve to keep medicaid and keep surviving.

[hiker]

It took 15 votes to get him into the speakership role - That's pretty much an indication of how effective he's going to be and that is bearing out.

[tracydarby]

Remember, it's NOT a Debt Ceiling Bill! It's the DEBT CEILING (paying for past expenditures) and a PROPOSED BUDGET (going forward). No matter what the media or Republicans say, IT'S TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!

[spir]

Joe Biden, do a Primetime interview about exactly what the GOP budget proposal would mean to the American people. Fight back!

[boholde]

Thank goodness that this absurd bill will never be passed in the Senate. Dead on arrival. Deservedly so.

[stevenj]

GQP, enjoy the next 2 years, your dangerous party will NEVER hold either House for a LONG time, until you clean up you crazieness.
