For his Medicare base there is no change. For employer sponsored insurance there is a mild increase. For Medicare and ACA this is a slaughterfest

Why does Prop 50 matter? Texas lawmakers redrew maps to steal seats. Gene Wu explains why a #YesOnProp50 vote means defending our democracy, fair representation, and immigrant communities. We must not let Trump carve away power.

the king blames his subjects for complaining about his policies hurting them

The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!

Of course, I wasn't suggesting that foreign aid was a bad thing. Merely pointing out how much he's willing to give to a mate when he treated the foreign aid budget as too massive a cost on the country.
