Collins voted against drilling in ANWR and is now against this modest cut in spending.
Perhaps she needs to hear from some of us, politely, of course.

I have to believe that there is something else they can go after before Medicaid. Medicaid is for poor children, the poor elderly and the disabled. Medicaid is not fun, in fact, it's pretty lousy much of the time, but it's the only option some people have. I don't know of any private charities that provide the same, I have looked.
For example, I am disabled, my only income is social security disability. That's very little money every month, and this will probably be for the rest of my life (unless there is some miracle cure!). I'm young so I didn't have a lot of money saved up when I became disabled (at age 19). I can't afford to buy my own health insurance, not even close, plus pay for prescriptions and everything else. I hate Medicaid but I'm sick and have no other options.
There are a ton of things they should be cutting but won't.

Even more, he needs to hear from the White House. Come on, Mister President, take the gloves off and crack down on these RINOS. Put Karl Rove on the job.

If being for the conservative agenda makes me an extremist, then I'm proud to be an extremist.

The tax cuts have brought billions of dollars into the treasury.
There is no correlation between tax cuts and medicaid cuts.

OK genious, what do you do about 50 Trillion in Unfunded Liabilities in Medicare alone?
After that lets solve the problem of 10 Trillion in Unfunded Liabilities in Social Security.
We can't make it all up in tax hikes......

End all farm subsidies? Let's do it. But it will take a heck of a lot more than that.
In fact cutting all discretionary spending wouldn't do it.
We need fundamental change in Medicare and Medicaid

It is really pathetic that some FReepers label me a Marxist and socialist for
NOT "letting poor, disabled and elderly people die".
Best wishes to all with disabilities and otherwise disadvantaged!

Just the trillions in tax cuts at the expense of Medicaid, health care for the poor. The one has nothing to do with the other.
