Lloyd Doggett: “We are here solely because of Republican blunders. Hardly the first…”

On the recordDecember 20, 2017

We are here solely because of Republican blunders. Hardly the first blunder. Many more blunders will need correcting from this trumped-up partisan bill. If President Trump blunders into signing it today, it will trigger $25 billion in Medicare cuts. This sad bill is left without any name. Like other towers, this towering monstrosity should be called ``Trump''-the ``Trump Inequality Act,'' the ``Trump Family Enrichment Act,'' or perhaps just call it the ``Whopper'' because it is a lie wrapped in lies. The truth will eventually catch up with these lies.
