RFK, Jr. was an inspired pick for HHS. He is giving the corrupt, insular, predatory federal health care bureaucracy a much needed shakeup.

LOL LOL they are DELUSIONAL. Trump would love nothing better than to shut down the Govt, that way he can fire at will, and as far as RFK Jr goes, the ONLY reason why the left wants him gone is because they are ALL in bed with big pharma, as long as kids and adults are sick, they get MILLIONS

How about an annual budget, and not just a spending bill that runs out around Thanksgiving? You know, the stuff that got us through the first 200 + years of this country’s history.

I like that he’s shaking up the pharma industry but do you think people should go to prison if they’re a ‘climate denier’?
That’s what RFK said he thinks should happen, and that’s just one of his stupid ideas.

Will someone please break the news to Jeremy that the Democrats have no power to do anything

Here’s a better idea, Doc.

Tell the Democrats to pound sand! :)

The government ran out of money 40 trillion dollars ago.

“Jeremy Faust, MD, MS, MA”

What a coincidence. This very afternoon I listened to a Jordan Peterson podcast with Paul Kengor about Karl Marx’s satanic Faustian bargain with Lucifer.
A most excellent interview.

I don’t know about the rest of the party, but it looks like this Democrat is willing to throw the rest of the welfare state overboard in order to save big pharma. He may also be fighting for the MSM because they are surviving on pharma advertising dollars. Without fat people dancing around celebrating their diabetes drugs a lot of people will be fired at the networks. It might even percolate down to smaller sports contracts.

MedPageToday must be over the top left—there was not one even slightly reasonable (as in not lefty-nutcase) commenter on the article.

This assumes that more than three people in Congress actually support spending cuts. This proposal would be laughed out by both R’s and D’s for the same reason — spending must continue and keep increasing.

Fiction. Trump wants a shut down. The Culling.

I’ve got an idea. How about no? How about Trump give them nothing and radically slash the federal bureaucracy if they cause a government shutdown?

Congressional Democrats should make an uncharacteristic offer to support some deep cuts enumerated in the recent House and Senate markups of the appropriations bill for the coming fiscal year. In exchange, they should require that President Trump fire HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., or accept his prompt resignation.

They can't put that in the law - Bill of Attainder. They would have to accept a "promise" from President Trump. You know they can't do that, both personally and especially politically.
