They added $500B of Medicare cuts on Saturday night and upped Medicaid cuts to $1T. If this passes, expect doubling of homelessness with many more elderly and disabled people unable to care for themselves living on the street when primarily Medicaid-funded elder care homes close without anywhere else for them to go.
So similar to Beandolini's Law, the bullshit asymmetry principle, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law
