An anonymous House Republican tells NOTUS that Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington’s list of massive proposed spending cuts laid out in a memo circulated last week – $2.3 trillion off Medicaid, $479 billion off Medicare, $151 billion off the Affordable Care Act, $468 billion from Biden’s climate policies, among other draconian cuts – are like “a list a kid would send to Santa when he was five.”
“I want a pony, I want an airplane, I want a truck,” the member continued, basically calling the chair mentally retarded and there’s no chance of getting 218 votes for a budget with any of that shit.
“He is all over the place and doesn’t understand what the fuck he’s doing,” a “senior GOP aide” said of Arrington. It’s not clear why the dullard Texan still holds the important post given that two years ago Kevin McCarthy told allies Arrington is “incompetent” and he has “no confidence” in him.
“We’re so fucked” with Arrington helming the budget, another anonymous GOP member told NOTUS.
