That decision is irrelevant to cutting health care funding. You want it to be a tradeoff. It isn't a tradeoff. It is two separate choices because we do deficit spending. We can have both, or neither, or just one.

JFC, get real. Every thinking person knows that deficit-spending pressure to keep social spending down means more money for defense and law enforcement.

"pressure" is just rhetoric. Conservative rhetoric. There's no actual linkage or reason to link the two. Plus, you missed the tax cuts. This is rich republicans not wanting to pay for poor people. No more, no less.
