Labor unions and senior citizens' groups are launching efforts to lobby House members against a bill that includes $700 million in proposed cuts to Medicare reimbursements for doctors and hospitals. The cuts would be used to fund a $2.5 billion extension of Trade Adjustment Assistance funding, which aids workers who lose their jobs as a result of trade deals.
Only Republicans could come up with an idea like this !
I'll have to cogitate on this whole Trade Adjustment Assistance thing. Right now it appears that an assumption is made that the Trade deal is so good for the American people that some people will lose their jobs.
I can't make up anything more bizarre!
