Hundreds of Advocacy Groups Call on Thune to Reject House Republicans’ Budget Blueprint

The Hill, a Voice of the Crust.
Hundreds of advocacy organizations have called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to reject a budget blueprint from House Republicans.
A letter sent to Thune, led by the liberal health care advocacy group Families USA, features more than 300 organizations, such as Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union.
“We write to share our deep concerns about the House-passed budget reconciliation resolution—specifically the catastrophic health care cuts it would require and the resulting harm it would impose on families and communities across the country,” according to the letter, sent Wednesday.
As aways, proglodytes assume that if the government doesn’t do something, It Won’t Ever Get Done.
When they say ‘cuts’, they always refer to a reduction in spending increases, not actual cuts at all.
This country survived for centuries without the Federal government paying for people’s health care, and ‘families and communities across the country’ got along just fine. The actual problem they have is that they are afraid that the gravy train of Federal money is going to decrease–it’s too much to hope that it will stop completely–and this threatens their status and paychecks. The government’s job is to keep people safe and keep people honest, not to pay for their stuff.
