Dear Sandy,

Ever since that day I hit you, I've felt like we haven't been as close.

Won't have to pay for the next generation of children if we starve to death the ones alive right now. Genius!

One thing we know for 100% certainty is that Trump isn't going to prison.

Do you know what 100% means?

Here, I will make a bet with you. I will bet 1 dollar against a million dollars that Trump goes to prison (which I will define as any institutional restriction of freedom, including house arrest or probation). If he dies or leaves office without going to prison, you get one dollar. If he goes to prison, I get one million dollars.

If you believe 100% that this is the case, this is an easy bet to get because it is a free dollar.

I could be wrong but isn't "reducing nuclear weapons" code for getting rid of obsolete small nukes for much bigger ones in practice?

It's the opposite, I think. Getting rid of the big bulky ones that are difficult to maintain and replacing them with small ones that are easy to deliver and accurate.

LOL Trump didn't let Sean Spicer who has destroyed his reputation and credibility for him, meet the Pope out of spite. As bad a person as we think Trump is, he's probably worse.

You guys realize the republican-led CBO board is not going to let a score pass through that doesn't allow for reconciliation. Even if they have to lie to everyone's faces well that's just Republicans for you: Traitors, Liars, thieves.

Pretty much this: Why send up 1 big warhead when you can send up half a dozen smaller ones on the same missile, and give each one a different target. You can also dial in the yield for the newer warheads too.

Not really. Last one was something like 30-60 pages, and there will be people who know what to look for when they scan through. Uninsured #, and its affect on the budget. A good reporter who sees it immediately should be able to figure it out very quickly, 1-2 minutes.

I want to believe he sat down with Spicer on the flight over and went over the itinerary in great detail. Talking about how great an opportunity this was and how he hoped the Pope would be able to sit down with everyone individually for a few minutes of face to face time. Really play it all up.

And then when Air Force One lands he asks Spicer to do him a solid and watch the plane.

CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) have completed an estimate of the direct spending and revenue effects of H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act of 2017, as passed by the House of Representatives. CBO and JCT estimate that enacting that version of H.R. 1628 would reduce the cumulative federal deficit over the 2017-2026 period by $119 billion. That amount is $32 billion less than the estimated net savings for the version of H.R. 1628 that was posted on the website of the House Committee on Rules on March 22, 2017, incorporating manager’s amendments 4, 5, 24, and 25. (CBO issued a cost estimate for that earlier version of the legislation on March 23, 2017.)
