[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the GOP “fiscal hawks” caved.  And the bond markets reacted negatively.

He's in a deep red district. No chance he's going anywhere. So-called fiscal conservatives never really care about the deficit. They mainly hate the spending they don't like and want more of the spending or tax cuts they do like. Their voters aren't any smarter about it than the people they elect. [/quote]

Here's the truth: People don't really care about "fiscal responsibility". They think the federal government spends too much, but then they want more spending on the most expensive parts and they want lower taxes. Oh, and let's fire the IGs and slash the IRS for good measure. [/quote]

Texas 21 is relatively high income. They'll mostly benefit from the tax cuts in this bill which favor higher income earners. Some people will lose Medicaid, SNAP, and Pell grants, but it's small fraction of his district. (less than 7% rely on Medicaid or SNAP).
