Meanwhile the the most wealthy get the biggest tax cuts.
I don't understand how this isn't obviously unpopular. It doesn't even have a token tax cut for working class people to act as a fig leaf for the massive spending on tax breaks for the richest people in the country. That's normally how Republicans do tax cuts.
That is *before* you discuss what it does to medicaid.

Normally they'd have some little $300 tax cut for working class people and act like it's the most wonderful thing in the world as they gut the budget.
They couldn't even be bothered. I guess the set of working class people who have voted for them don't care? Or they are so deep in misinformation there is no one who can tell them this is what will happen?
Not even Elon, for all his criticism is talking about THIS. It's regressive. Bad for the economy. Bad.

@futurebird they're able to do this because they think it no longer matters. they don't need that level of vote support anymore, and the level they do need will only shrink. our electoral system is, at this point, basically completely broken at every level from local to judiciary.
it's not insane if they know they're going to get away with it. -

Do we really have to let the house get blown down to learn?
I guess they really think things won't get worse.
