Do you know what is in Trump's "big beautiful" bill?

[msc545]

• Here it is - aren't you glad you voted for him?
  
  $2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid
  
  a new mandate that childless adults aged 19–64 must work at least 80 hours per month to keep Medicaid
  
  Up to 10 million people expected to lose coverage
  
  Shortened enrollment windows for Obamacare
  
  Cuts to SNAP (food stamps), forcing states to shoulder more costs
  
  An increase to the SALT deduction cap, benefiting wealthier taxpayers
  
  $3.7 trillion in tax cuts, primarily for the rich
  
  No new taxes on billionaires
  
  $150 billion in new defense spending
  
  Billions more for deportations, detention centers, and Trump’s border wall
  
  No new funding for the poor, sick, elderly, or disabled

I question some of that, but if it improves finances, and people still are able to live... ok. I see mediaid BS waste, people stuck in the system whom could work, etc.

There has to be a reasonable balance.

If social services are cut, it just means more caring people have to give of their hard earned $ directly to social benefit... soup kitchens, free medical clinics... volunteer to the poor peoples cars, homes. And when you do that, you will be a lot more efficient than the government.

So it's a win win...

Billionaries should be paying taxes and corpirations should as well. If not, then the failed and should be fired and replaced by AOC and bernie.

Yea, they are hoping by “budget” they can put people asleep enough to sneak in the unpopular, unjustified, terrible, no good rhetoric of Trump Administration.

It contains everything Trump wants to achieve in ONE bill which I pray to God that our leaders show some balls and don’t pass it. Though I know a lot of politicians that would shed their balls for the orange savior.

Well I guess it sucks even more to be poor now. Jesus is proud!

Ya know what sucks even worse? Knowing you’re poor and you voted for tRump and Project 2025.

So three cheers….. c’mon now.

Fuck the poor

Fuck the poor

Fuck the poor

We don't want your Nazi cars,
Take a one-way trip to Mars!

The money they're taking from the poorest in society doesn't even pay for what they're giving the rich, they have to increase the debt by $5tn!

[Dargil]

Ahh. Making PROGRESS!

[beefcakebradybatson]

[msc545]

uh huh - what happens when you need medical care?

[captain_voidwalker]

I die

[goaded]

My inner right winger says "good". However, I'm not that person.

Rep. Alan Grayson: the GOP plan for health care. Part one, don't get sick. Part two, if you do get sick... Part three, die quickly.

Lol how do you think I get medical care, I'm employed and have health insurance. Also fun how you only read headlines. The cuts are over the next 10 years and it's only cutting benefits to illegal aliens

[goaded]

Do you agree that "The modern conservative is engaged in the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness" ? ↗

When do you think Grayson said that? It was 2009, and they're proving him right, yet again.

It also turns out that the current bill will "accidentally" cut Medicare by nearly half a trillion dollars. That's what you find out if you don't just read the headlines.

"How Would Medicare Be Affected After 2026?
The 4 percent maximum reduction in Medicare spending would apply to
sequestration orders for years after 2026. If OMB ordered a sequestration of
$230 billion for each year through 2034, the ordered reductions in Medicare
spending would increase to about $75 billion in 2034 and would total roughly
$490 billion over the 2027–2034 period"

That is your choice. Help is available.

Again why should I care. Medicare does nothing but cost me money to support the lazy and unproductive. Frankly it along with that absolute catastrophe called social security should just strait up be abolished.
