Day 19: Senate too busy on tax cuts for the rich to address children's health insurance expiration

[CousinIT]

The majority of the Senate’s work this week has been focused on passing their budget resolution, the bill that sets their spending priorities, but more importantly gives them "instructions" that allow them to pass a massive tax cut for the rich with just 51 votes.

This, despite the fact that the Children's Health Insurance Program—which nearly 9 million children are enrolled in right now—expired on September 30. Despite the fact that it has thrown many state's budgets into turmoil, and that Minnesota is going to completely run out of funding in 12 days.

That makes this “Screw the Nation's Future Week” in the Senate, apparently. Not only are they malevolently neglecting an existing, critical program for children's health, but they're plotting how they can make their lives worse in the future with this budget/tax cuts bill.

1. They do not care

[Wellstone ruled]

2. We have to remeber what took place a few weeks back.

The Koch Brothers held a meeting in Colorado Springs,chaired by a fellow named Phillips. The GOP was put on notice that,the Koch Foundation told these attendees,they had 800 billion in bribe money to disperse to those who follow their directives.

Another part of this so conference was the requirement of the GOP to end ACA,SNAP,Medicare,Medicaid,and the Privatization of the VA. BTW,Koch Industries has created a for Profit Entity to take over the VA.
