3. The thing about that bill--there is SOMETHING to hate for everyone--no matter what their specific issue...

Those who don't give a damn about Medicare/Medicaid because they have private insurance, now find out that their parent will not be able to go to that nursing home and the hospital closest to them are closing...

Those who don't give a damn that the poor and middle class are left without resources previously passed through the Feds to the states and then locally--well, guess what, their favorite NPR or PBS channel is in danger of being lost forever, and those emergency alerts for the destination areas where they have second vacation homes will be lost as well.

Those who don't give a damn that the Dept of Education is being dismantled, including all their interventions to provide services to the developmentally disabled and others--just found out their grandchild is going to be in need of these services.

And whether it is FEMA, or drug treatment programs, or the litany of others lost to Trump/Republicans' greed, well, there is a cause for outrage tailored to EVERYONE. May they fully reep what they have sown.
