Republicans moving ahead with Trump's 'big' bill of tax breaks and spending cuts amid tariff uproar

After a long wait, the Senate is launching action on President Donald Trump’s ”“big, beautiful bill” of tax breaks and spending cuts.

apnews.com

More than a month after House Republicans surprised Washington by advancing their framework for Trump’s $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and $2 trillion in spending cuts, Senate Republicans voted Thursday to start working on their version. The largely party-line vote, 52-48, sets the stage for a potential Senate all-nighter Friday spilling into the weekend.

Bill passes

Not surprising I guess, old Bill O'reilly had to be upwards of 75 or so.

Trump apparently held a meeting with GOP reps where he told them that if they want to be reelected they should never touch 3 things - Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

It seems he doesn’t even know what is in his bill. Moron.

Yeah, that's happening lots of places. Our population is going down a lot, and now medical being cut, our clinic and hospital probably won't survive that after the blows it's taken over the last 6 or 7 years.

Our population's average age is growing older as the towns kids mover away because there is no way to make a decent living here anymore.

Few people have fire insurance anymore because every one of the insurance companies will not write coverage any more in most parts of my county. When someone has their insurance cut the bank will force them to take out a very high priced policy that the state oversees, It's unaffordable, for my house to insure it fully would cost me $14,000 a year. Fortunately my place is paid off so I can go without. But for all of those without a paid off home they suddenly see anaditional 5 to a thousand or more extra expense, they can't surrice so they move away.

It's been years since I've had a general practitioner who stayed here long enough that I've seen them more than twice, most of them only once.

7 years ago the place was full and busy, since Covid it's been like a ghost town, half of the rooms in the clinic are not being used.

Rural = Republican as well.

Read a bit about innovation in China. Can’t remember the source but the author was noting that there are a lot of patents done in China that not only don’t become anything commercialized, they could never be commercialized. The author also said that much of the high tech manufacturing done there relies on equipment and technology from elsewhere.

I found it interesting.

I would love to read that article if you can find it... And find out more about the source

Bogalousa hospital will most likely close.

Largest employer in Bogalousa.

Not to mention healthcare access for 1000s in rural Washington and St Tammany parishes.

I read that most of the Medicaid cuts won’t take effect until after the midterms - they know how bad it will be. I assume these closures that are already happening were due to happen whether this bill passed or not.

By design I’m sure

Spend the next 18 months saying “where’s all the Medicaid doom and gloom Democrats were screaming about?”

Midterms aren’t as bad as they could have been for the GOP

The Republican Party demonstrating their Party Platform is not about serving The People:

This is what they are all about.

Rural = Republican as well.

They’ll still say their town of about 1,500 people has a better economy than NYC, LA, or any metro area.

 

[MT15]

Agree with this.

Plus various GOP liars - Johnson being one of the worst - are out there claiming they aren’t cutting Medicaid at all. Just so condescending. Mike Johnson has such a smug smirk as he lies and lies.

Good old Curtis Yarvin. Him and his Dark Enlightenment brethren want so badly to be the real life Sith of Star Wars fiction and he wants to be Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious. These are physical adults suffering from severe arrested emotional development.

Just saw this about him
