House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned Wednesday that Republicans will try to target healthcare and social programs in 2019, an agenda she called a "nightmare for working families and seniors."

"Make no mistake: this is who Republicans are. They’ve had united government for nearly two years in Washington, and they’ve spent every moment looking to either enrich the wealthiest 1 percent or trying to tear health care away from millions nationwide," Pelosi tweeted.

She cited a series of recent news stories that indicated Republicans will prioritize cutting Medicaid and Medicare benefits, and possibly social security. She also highlighted a story that the GOP may look to renew its efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act in 2019.

4. Not only that, add to it the THOUSANDS of new tariffs that will hit right after the holidays.

There are literally thousands of consumer goods - things each and every American uses and buys every day that will cause all the cost of those items to increase. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year, compliments of the rethuglican "party".

6. Talking big numbers...

...this morning on Morning Joe.

Well all that Beelyons of tariffs are only a small fraction of the Meeellions of items.

BULL SHIT !

It is not spread out!

The of a group of items goes up by the amount that hit that group.

Food, cars, household appliances....etc.

This is how them twist the base because most people including the congress-critters do not understand numbers beyond 3 times their paycheck.

Of course once you hit 9 digits, you don't have a paycheck and have 2 floors of lawyers to figure it all out.
