Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.

        Helps that the party hated the same groups they do which is very important, and has God by their side. Might not agree with everything, but God is the one pillar of belief they will stand by no matter how much everyone suffers.

        A group the church promotes is the holy one. You wouldn’t go against God would you just because those dirty heathens offer some enticing programs would you? That’s a road straight to hell.
