Trump calls on Congress to pull back $15 billion in spending, including on CHIP

[*PhilHos*]

Why are people lamenting the end of CHIP? According to the OP's article, "Almost half of the proposed cuts would come from two accounts within the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that White House officials said expired last year or are not expected to be drawn upon. "

It's 2 accounts from within CHIP, not all of chip AND supposedly, the accounts are expired or are not expected to be drawn up.

Be critical of whatever spending cuts are propsed all you want, but at least be critical of what they're PROPOSING.

"We're going to make some cuts to CHIP" "OMG! THEY'RE GETTING RID OF CHIP!!!"
