How about this - Trump and GOP gets their tax cuts, Hawley and maybe a Dem co-sponsor removing the Medicaid cuts - probably would pass...get most Dem votes and lots of GOP votes...

Result -GOP gets the tax cuts for billionaires, no one gets kicked off of Medicaid, rural Hospitals stay open...bad result is about another TRILLION of debt is added to the deficit.

Then when our debt is downgraded and people begin complaining about why they cannot get anything done in terms of social safety net - the powers that be will just point to our DEBT.
