I don't care what state, party, or demographic you want to cite. Get rid of it before it bankrupts us.

You want to blow up 29% of our economy? Are you somehow immune to suffering?

Republicans hate our country and want to destroy it.

I’m really not clear about the long game here. What do they think they’ll be left with?

Unless the plan is to play in other people’s countries once they’ve ruined this one, or to stay secluded on their yachts, don’t they get that their expensive, exalted lives rest heavily on the backs of people whose names they don’t care to know? People who sacrificed the time and money it took to go to med school, people who pilot the helicopters, people who clean and caretake and keep things running; People who provide services that many of us want and most of us will need at some point — those people and those resources won’t be there anymore. The super wealthy will continue to have choices. The richest family in rural western wherever might not — hospitals are already starting to close, and the businesses that they support and the incomes that they provide will be toast. That means suffering for many of us, but it also means the crumbling of the infrastructures that support their/ our lives — from the essentials to some of the fun stuff. Some of the not wealthy MAGAs are already feeling the shocks.

It would be nice if enough of this clicks in time for them to call their Representatives NOW.

This bill gives Republicans what they have wanted for years. Cuts to the social safety net and lower taxes for corporations and the rich. They've cried crocodile tears about the deficit for 25 years while adding to it every time they are in charge. This is just more of the same, but they finally got their Medicaid cuts and SNAP.

The problem for Republicans now is the working class put them back in power. Their benefits get cut and they won't get much from the new goodies in the bill.

A lot of working class people get tips and overtime and they will seeing sizeably larger paychecks after this bill.

And if you don’t think Seniors, the most reliable voting bloc, won’t notice this Social Security tax cut you’re out of your mind.

How it works: Both the House and Senate bills include an increased tax deduction for tax filers age 64 and older. In the Senate version, the new deduction is $6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for couples.

The deduction starts phasing out for those who earn over $75,000 ($150,000 for couples), and phases out completely at $175,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples, in the Senate version.

This Dem spin on this bill is not going to matter if these no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security deductions get implemented. These are incredibly large voting blocs.

You fool.
There will be no more tips or overtime.

Employers will cut overtime, which will be easy as demand sinks in a crashing economy. And people will not go out and will not tip if they do.

Misleading because it doesn’t take into account growth etc. This is a great bill!’ Give it a chance because this is good for everyone!!

Accounting for "growth" makes the bill more expensive because it will make interest rates go up. Try again.

You can't read can you? CATO accounts for growth. They say it in the same sentence.

Enjoy your victory MAGA. It will be shortlived. Americans do not like this bill. The goodies in it will not be enough to make up for all that is bad in it.

It gives ICE 100 billion dollars to hire any more "deputies" that want to unleash their life's frustrations on black and brown people and funds concentration camps nationwide. We are Hitler's Germany now.

We get it, Democrats do not want to enforce immigration law. They want to let everyone in and give them amnesty.

This.
Looks like Massie is the only GOP no. So the only one who can talk about fiscal responsibility. All the rest of the GOP “deficit hawks” can zip it up now.

Congrats MAGA. You broke it, you own it. And it’s going to be very expensive to recreate anything close to the prosperity Americans enjoyed up until January.

Yes, the Roaring Twenties all over again. Record stock market highs. Massive income inequality.

What came after the Roaring Twenties the first time? Does anyone remember?
