"This is the most thoroughly debated piece of legislation in my memory in Washington." – Bill Kristol, Fox News Sunday, 3/7/10

"[T]his bill has received more careful consideration, more exposure, more transparency, more debate, more hearing time, more debate time, more amendments offered, than almost any bill that I can think of in my 30 years in the Congress of the United States." – Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, 3/16/10

BY THE NUMBERS: AN OPEN, TRANSPARENT PROCESS FOR THE ACA

But what we want to know is: WHERE ARE THE JOBS, JOBS, JOBS? Five months into the Trump Administration, Republicans still have not put forward a single piece of legislation to create good-paying jobs or raise the wages of hard-working Americans. Instead, Trump and House Republicans have pushed legislation to cut Wisconsin jobs, hurt the economy, and take away health insurance:

• 412,600 Wisconsinites would lose their health insurance under Trumpcare.

Normally, appropriators start marking up spending bills after the passage of a budget resolution, which sets the amounts appropriators divvy up to various programs.

When the House appropriations subcommittee on Military Construction takes up the bill on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Monday at 7:00, it will be working to distribute portions of a budget without knowing how big that overall budget is.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday said the process was "irresponsible."

Instead, Trump and House Republicans have pushed legislation that would cost jobs:

• The GOP Trumpcare bill could cost 8 million jobs.
