kuch nor medicare. they will get zero, zero. is there a number less than zero? political support or backing from democrats and they will dispose themselves. that s what i think. to horror. the ballot in 2018. i was talking to a senior republican about this the other day. there s no appetite. all the hand wringing, ooh, ooh what they can do, and i think there is appetite for is, so go after programs like s.n.a.p. used to call food stamps. add work r50ir78to people with stamps. make lives a little more miserable because those are not their voters. another part of are the rally that seemed odd. right? first flashbacks to 09 or march of 10, democrats celebrating and two-thirds saying what are you celebrating?
of the rnc, and others. joking. republicans put on the planet to cut taxes, why they re seb braer to celebratory. democrats equally giddy. who s right? both. that s how it works. republican get to say today this is what we did and look, ma, no hands. got it passed and go out over holidays talk about it. democrats likewise are saying you ve heard the narrative about the impact this is going to have on families across the country, and also the truth and reality there s another play to come on social welfare and health care programs. so, yeah. ruth what i don t understand is what political planet are they from if they really aren t going to tackle medicare and medicaid? the republicans? yeah. i know what paul ryan wants to do, but candidate donald trump said no cuts. that s going to get shoved down their throats a million times. how many times will you run that clip? i m not going to touch your social security, not going to
he s happy with it, gets the tv time, and part of the strategy. that s what he wants. he ll pay the price at the ballot box next year. i get a feeling we ll see puerto rico s and mitch mcconnell s overly flattering words used absolutely. that montage at the white house today with all ofs smiling faces and the back slapping, the hand holding over taxes, yeah. that s good commercial. that s going to play into a broader narrative about the party and its lack of interest to the typical american voter, but to your point, ruth, about those folks who are on s.n.a.p. and c.h.i.p. programs, that s not our voters, in fact they are. look where the legislation hits the hardest, whether the medicare aspects of it or the health care aspects of it, the tax aspects, it s all of those folks last time i checked s.n.a.p., red districts with s.n.a.p.
the budget resolution. big cuts to medicare and medicaid. very large expensive programs that benefit millions of americans and i think part of why every democrat ended up voting against this plan was because it was brought forward through a budget projects that identified an intention to make significant cuts to medicare and medicaid going forward. the average american will get a tax cut in the first couple of years of this bill of a little over $1,000, maybe $1,500, $1,600, but if they know at the end their taxes will go up a decade from now, and there will be big cuts to medicare and medicaid coming, i don t think most americans will be happy with that deal. if democrats get control of congress and the house, there they aemttempt to repeal this t? i can t speak if there is is a new house democratic majority but i expect try to roll back some provisions. bill. we ve seen in recent history when a big, complex bill is done
