With cover conveniently provided by the preoccupation with "Comeycon", the GOP's gerbils have been working overtime to enact their punitive agenda. The much vaunted Obamacare "repeal and replace" AKA "Trumpcare" legislation is now in the hands of the sclerotic Senate, where little is known about its content other than 23 million will lose access to coverage. Apparently, Mitch McConnell and Orin Hatch have deemed it unnecessary to hold public hearings for a measure which directly impacts the lives of their constituents. Meanwhile in the House, the dismemberment of the Dodd, Frank financial reforms passed after the 2008 economic meltdown is occurring under the guise that the regulations impair the nation's economy despite that the banks - primary beneficiaries of the repeal - have enjoyed record profits and loan growth. The consumer protections provided by Dodd, Frank will be but a whisper of a memory.

If you're not revolted, you've not been paying attention.
