- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Mandatory spending is still at congress's will Unclear. If structured as a promise, it could be considered backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. That’s Constitutionally protected.
- sershe 3y agoDoes that cover full implementation of the program? Medicare and medicaid (that, to be clear, I'd abolish in a heartbeat with only a transition period for readjustment) could simply be legislated into an unusable state. E.g. slash provider payouts by an order of magnitude and see how many doctors still accept it - nearly as good abolishing it.
