24:48Now PlayingMaya May talks with MoveOn.org's Joel Payne about the pain the GOP has in store for us.
Late Sunday night, the GOP U.S. House’s proposed budget squeaked out of committee by a 17-16 vote. Sadly, the narrow margin wasn’t due to the budget’s potential to hollow out our already frail middle class — the conservative holdouts (four of them voted present so the budget could pass committee) actually didn’t think it did enough to destroy Medicare and Medicaid or punish middle — and low-income children.
On the table now are demands for steeper and faster cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and clean energy programs, along with Medicaid work requirements. To paraphrase Rick Wilson from today’s Enemies List, this budget will reshape American society in ways that are practically unimaginable.
So. Is this budget a foregone conclusion? Are Dems helpless to fight it? Not quite. We’ve certainly got our work cut out for us, but, look. This budget is (again, to paraphrase Rick) a turd in the American punchbowl. If Dems can’t make that clear, we’ve got bigger problems.
Mike Johnson wants to pass this bomb by Memorial Day. Good luck with that. Maya joins Democratic strategist and Chief Communications Officer of MoveOn.org, Joel Payne, to talk about the chaos surrounding the budget, the Democratic strategy to stop it, and how the only pro-Democracy party in America needs to be willing to debate big ideas.
