I’d like reporters to simply report facts, and point our right/left POV’s if it necessary for context.
Ady sounds like the kind of reporter that is the problem. He wants to change the world, be an advocate for change, champion some sort of cause. Even if this guy was a conservative republican I’d have the same comment.
Reporters - report
Commentators - comment
Who knew there were so many liberal deficit hawks? They all seemed to be in hiding during the Obama years, when our deficit really skyrocketed.
For anyone who wants to know what this guy was worried about...
Its the deficit! Yep! Didn’t give a rat’s rear (literally) about it under Obama, but he’s decided the Trump tax plan will cause such huge deficits that Medicaid and Medicare will cease to exist - and they will cut funding for his life support equipment.
But only, of course, after the Republicans push his grand mother down the stairs!
OK, I made that last part up. But this liberal buttwipe is suddenly worried that the government will have deficits. But he loved Obama. Cognitive dissonance exemplified.
Gay blade has hissy fit at 30K feet, meh ...
This is yet another change the world and leave it so called better place Abbie Hoffman wannabe who doesn’t believe in a judgement day much less salvation.....fine

Hey asshole Ady Barkan. Don’t worry. Medicare will be there for you till your last breath. You won’t have to worry about Death Panels either. But the rest of us will pick up the cost while you do your BS SJW stuff.
Congrats and let me be the first to say that I hope you at least made provisions for your family to pay for your funeral instead of the taxpayers.
Re: “But the Republican tax plan would throw [my] insurance into jeopardy. The bill would raise the deficit by more than $1 trillion, automatically triggering cuts that would devastate our country’s safety net.”
It would have been helpful if the author had explained those “automatic” cuts.
I’m not aware of any automatic cuts that will affect Medicare, Social Security Disability payments, or Social Security Survivor Benefits.
