it make sense, since the gop is concerned, they always threaten to cut MEDICAID/CARE, and snap, or subsidies but they never actually do it, just for sound bites for fox and murdoch. now with TRUMP, they are afraid of not offending him, so they are rubberstamping all his demands.

plus the "cuts" were always used a distraction from the corporate tax cuts, now they actually have to Cut the very thing they always teased the magats about for decades.
