She's an international woman of mystery who has no "home" per se. But as befits mysterious international women of mysterious mystery, she is citizen to more than one country, and she probably also has fake citizen paperwork for many others, issued by mysterious governmental agencies in support of her mysterious job duties.

I know this carries as much credibility as any other anonymous tip from the left or the right, but here you go:

If any of y'all listen to David Webb, he had a parade of Congress Critters on this morning. They're currently working in Florida and the deficit hawks are flying. They've been told Social Security and Medicare are off the table, but to take a torch to any fat they can find. Wasteful programs, duplicate programs at separate agencies, layoffs, reallocation of resources, clawbacks of funds not spent...The goal is $2T/yr.
They won't get that. They're going to try, though.

They have the smallest majority in the house in 96 years. The moderates will be the holdouts I suspect.
My best guess is they end up, after a lot of drama, with more or less the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta. Take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

The House Budget Committee released its own plan on Wednesday that would add more than $3 trillion to the deficit over a decade while cutting $1.5 trillion in federal spending, much of it from health care and food programs for the poor. It also calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, and for raising the debt ceiling, the statutory cap on what the nation can borrow to finance its debt, by $4 trillion.

It's reassuring to see that some things about the GOP haven't changed.

Itâs awfully difficult to cut much of anything from government without hurting the poor. Doesnât make it any better but I think itâs true. That said, I donât approve of doing it for tax cuts. Cut spending first, THEN talk about tax cuts. Theyâre trying to eliminate income tax in Ohio with the promise of energy production to offset it. Pie in the sky.

I agree. A 10% decrease in spending ability will hurt someone making USD$10K/year vs. someone making USD$10MM/year.
For the second person, they may have to cut the hours of their upstairs maid, but life will pretty much go on as normal.

The bulk of these devastating cuts to SNAP and Medicaid could be avoided if they limited the 2017 tax cut extension to those making under $400k.
Tax cuts for the wealthy are why weâre here.
