This makes me so angry! "Rescission".....

....clawing back money that has already been authorized.

Of course, Republicans, being the nasty and vindictive sorts that they are, choose the CHIP program as the main item to put on the chopping block.

I'm sure that this program, that provides essential healthcare for millions of children, was the prime target all along since Hillary was the one largely responsible for its creation.

Cruel vindictive bastards!

and the fact that they passed CHIP renewal with relatively little dissent in that bill, tells me that they know it. Trump is posturing. Even McConnell has told the WH they will not hold a vote to claw back some of that spending. But it is abhorrent nonetheless and surely some nasty Rs will laud Trump for it.
