The two faces of tax reform

So the photogenic Tenino family who got a (presumably) all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., also got a glowing story in the paper.

I hope you will give equal time to all of those people who will be hurt to provide that family with their $2500 windfall. Examples might include seniors whose health care is degraded by the automatic deficit-driven 4 percent cut to Medicare. Low income children who will lose care because the deficit hawks will say we can no longer afford CHIP. People who lose health care because of the repeal of the individual mandate either spikes the premiums or destroys the exchanges entirely.
