The debate to repeal and replace ObamaCare has started in earnest. The replacement, proposed by Paul Ryan, is on the table and has been named TrumpCare by the press. Trump supports Ryan's plan but not the nickname.
Just like everything else with Trump, things are moving fast; so I will wait until Thursday morning to make the final selection of videos. For now here are some videos to provide background:
- The Republican health care bill makes no sense
- Rand Paul says Senate conservatives "not going to vote for" new health bill
- Bernie Sanders calls new healthcare bill "an absolute disaster" for working class
- Paul Ryan confronts healthcare bill critics: "Everybody doesn't get what they want"

I just watched the Sean Spicer Show - the press conference. I can't figure out the difference between deficit and debt (even looked it up). And 'budget' vs 'authorization' vs 'appropriation.' Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDeficit is the amount that the government borrowed in a given year. Debt is the total that the government owes. Budget is the overall spending plan. Authorization is the permission to spend on a specific task. Appropriation is the slice of the budget given to a specific agency.
