by the way while it's good that paul/lee/cruz are all out there saying they'll vote no, they're also being real open about that there's deals that could get them to yes. people don't seem to believe it about paul but do believe it about cruz, mostly because there's some thinking that cruz has gone as far as he can in the ~truconservative~ thing and needs to deliver on some ability to get things done and tamp down republican hate for him in texas so he doesn't lose his primary it would also be good to have some firm "hell no" statements out of "moderates" but those don't seem to be coming

Hastings posted:I've had family members nag at me to buy a house and that we could have another kid as long as "we just started saving money". I would save money if we had any extra, and weren't living pay check to paycheck. There is a huge cognitive abyss where Boomers think they really had it tough so millennials need to "learn the benefits of hard work too". best is when an old guy who just walked into a couch factory uninvited and got a job for 60 years tells you that getting a decent job is easy

Aves Maria! posted:boomers had it real tough, with their good jobs directly out of high school that paid fair wages with benefits. poo poo was torture And their beautiful dreams of retirement. Baby Boomers are an outlier though...our grandparent's generation and prior ones are more populist focused and built on hard work and generosity. The Baby Boomer focus on just putting your head down, fitting in and assimilating with power and searching for pleasure no matter what are poison to a functioning society.

Rand Paul is probably the safest No at this point because this bill is bad for him both ideologically and pragmatically. For opposite reasons, but that's all the more reason to make a lot of noise about opposing it.

It'll pass and it'll be poo poo but in the near future Trump will do a tweet and we'll hear all about how maybe this means he might not actually sign it. Hope is a disease etc.. this isn't a show this is a bargaining position, the conservative block is trying to get something they couldn't get in negotiations, but most (maybe paul) have things that could get them on board. what matters is what those things are. johnson appears to just want credit for getting something, ignore him. paul seems to want a full repeal of obamacare and is apparently written off as a hard no. lee and cruz, it matters what their specific ask is. the moderates have things that were pre-planned for them to look to get. collins and heller have already indicated, in so many words, that's the plan. not clear on murkowski, who is probably the most likely to be a hard no from the "moderates". i haven't seen anything from capuito, portman, or the others but the safe thing to say is that if collins and heller are already looking likely to vote for it i wouldn't expect much.
