I’m concerned that conservatives are now using the language of the Left. This is NOT a cut, but a reduction in the rate of growth. COLA has been manipulated for years, and doesn’t actually track with inflation, instead being pegged to the growth in other folks wages (among other things).
But Paul Ryan is still a RINO just in general terms based on this failure of a deal. But don’t play rhetoric games like a commie lib.
You’re parsing words. Increasing your federal income tax would not actually be a cut in your pay, but you’d still have less money.
