++Classy,immediately after the shooting at Colorado Springs, Mitch McConnell has attached and amendment to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
++The second part of McConnell's plan which has the enthusiastic --I stress enthusiastic--support of the GOP majority is to repeal Medicaid expansion and the subsidies that allow states to accept. It is bluntly an attempt to deprive the poor of healthcare.
++This process is supposed to be done through reconciliation. So I don't know how President Obama can veto this. The Washington Post reports that McConnell has assured skeptical Senators like Mark Kirk and Kelly Ayotte who face re-election bids that President Obama will veto it so feel free to vote for it. The other promise is that the subsidies will continue until a new Republican President takes office and introduces his own healthcare system.
++If they buy that I have a bridge in Brooklyn.
I never understand why Democrats don't jam this stuff down the GOP's throats. There is such wreckage going on in the budget process that will never make it in the public eye.
