Republican riders in the budget bill "compromise"

Here's a list of riders the GOP House has added to the budget bill. As will quickly become apparent, they largely have jack and shit to do with the budget. The main focus is to gut health care and destroy the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as satisfy a host of other Republican dreams to turn the United States into a hell hole.

There was a time when the policy disagreements and resulting compromises between Republican and Democratic politicians were a vital part of ensuring the creation of good public policy. That time has passed. GOP politicians have become so extreme, so regressive, that they no longer represent a political party worthy of serious engagement in public policy debates. They are scum, plain and simple. They don't care about the country, the environment, health care, women, the poor, the middle class, or much of anything else except making the wealthy even wealthier. That's their goal. They should driven through the streets and run out of Washington like the swine they are.
