Thank you for the "glossary" of acronyms at the top. It's hard to keep all the letters straight!😄

I expected them to ignore the Parliamentarian and so they did.

BUT I don’t expect them to completely ignore the “PayGo” “requirement” which will automatically cut Medicare by $500 billion or so. The most immediate impact could be on Medicare spending, with potential cuts to payments for hospitals, physicians, and other providers.

Other mandatory programs like farm subsidies, social services, and military retiree funding could also be affected. Social Security is exempt.
