Well, the statement that it requires huge cuts to Medicaid benefits is simply not true. I mean, the GAO, Pamela, says that there's $50 billion a year annually in fraud, waste and abuse in Medicaid. You can get $500 billion over the 10 year window just by cleaning up the waste, fraud and abuse [in Medicaid]. So first, I disagree with the way that that's teed up. And second, when you talk about tax cuts, I think that's a misnomer. Taxes are where they are and where they've been since 2017. (10:02–10:09)
