      Sure enough, Mitch McConnell is already saying that we need to cut entitlements -- which is a euphemism for cuts in Medicare and Social Security, something every news article should point out -- in response to the deficit the tax cut exploded 2/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-16/mcconnell-blames-entitlements-not-gop-for-rising-deficits …

      This is, to be honest, even faster than I expected. Oh, and Ted Cruz says that the problem is "socialized medicine" -- which is, and always has been, GOP-speak for Medicare 3/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYrlDlrLDSQ&t=4s …

      Let's also note the brazen lie involved in blaming spending for the deficit surge. In reality, spending is growing at normal rates -- barely above population growth plus inflation -- while there have been huge cuts in taxes 4/pic.twitter.com/RZ7jviyK83

      Meanwhile, Republicans are claiming that *Democrats* want to cut Medicare, and lying nonstop about their position on preexisting conditions 5/https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mcsally-republican-pre-existing-conditions_us_5bc62785e4b055bc947ade8a …

          The sheer corruption involved in promising one thing, while more or less openly planning to do the opposite, is, I think, unprecedented in American politics. And anyone who tries to "both sides" this is complicit in the corruption 6/

          Today's Trumpian Republicans don't merely lie - they speak the exact opposite of the truth.

          They backed themselves into a corner by defending popular programs they want to cut to maintain power, but they have said it so much that their voters believe social programs are worth defending. The irony...pic.twitter.com/IvWuxTLqgb

          Come now Paul. Everyone American deserves to have a place to call home; for lying bastards who hate poor people, that place is called the Republican Party.

          @SenateDems @TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats Get out and talk to the people. Explain how the American middle class have spent 40 cents more in gas in 2018 essentially eliminating any tax cut they were provided. Also, common sense Democrats aren’t in control to cut social programs

          Ted Cruz did the same charade at last night's debate against Beto! I think it's a GOP wide coordinated tactic!
