I will be pleasantly surprised if they don't pass the House Bill as is. This is their chance to gut the Social safety net, something they have planned for decades.

Lowering the age of children eligible for SNAP food went from 18 to 7. A 7 year old can be taught to fish.

Only gutting Medicare by 500 billion dollars if the deficit increases, and then putting shit in the bill that increases the deficit is a nice touch.

These people are evil, why assume they will do something nice?
