So while Trump makes a fool of himself and his picks look questionable in their Congressional hearings, the House and Senate have also been busy.
At a 1:30am vote, the Senate voted to repeal the ACA, including many provisions they insisted were safe (keeping kids on their parents' insurance until 26, protection for those with pre-existing conditions, no co-pay birth control). This would leave millions without coverage, including many who depend on it to survive.
Meanwhile, the House is trying to pass a budget that would explode the deficit up over 9 trillion dollars over the next decade. (Last year's budget would have added 1+ trillion over that time, by comparison)
But no, let's talk about how the GOP is the fiscally conservative party, and the morally upstanding party. Nothing like exploding the debt and taking health care from sick people to prove it.
