Isn’t there money for the border wall, coal power plants, support for nuclear energy, etc. Those project would support construction it seems.

No. This is not how this is going to work. You’re going to fire hundreds of thousands of construction workers now and they can all sit around doing nothing because there are no active construction sites for coal or nuclear right now. And there never will be for coal.

Why? What provisions kill jobs?

“In 2029, cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would result in the loss of 1.2 million jobs nationwide, equivalent to a 0.8-percentage-point increase in the unemployment rate”

To be fair, these are in the senate bill which still needs to pass the Senate, go to the House for reconcilliation and then possible come back to the senate, so it is possible these parts are not in the final bill that goes to the white house. Given how it disproportionately impacts MAGA voters, I would hope the GOP would come to their sense on this, but killing their own seems to be a value here.

Red state governors should be furious about this. Like a third of their residents or more are on Medicaid. 40% of the Speaker’s district.

The red state rednecks voted for him and, personally, I don't care if they die from lack of medical care.

When you say the quiet part out loud like that, you're not all that different from Trump and MAGA.

They are getting what they voted for.

No one voted for this. You just sound like a bad pets with your posts.

MAGA absolutely voted for this. It was in the GOP agenda known as Project2025.

Trump promised many times that he would not implement Project 2025. So no, no one voted for this. They voted for the opposite. Don't let your bitterness blind you.

Believing Donald Trump is an extraordinary failure in judgement. They deserve whatever is coming to them and more.

“They” is US!

Oh well.

Mostly the repeal of the IRA which was intended to bring manufactuing jobs back to the US, spur jobs in growth industry and job in our domestic infrastructure investment. It is such a stupid provision in the GOP bill because it undoes a lot of what has been really good over the last 4 years.

Just like Medicaid and snap, those cuts will mostly hurt red areas

It's in the third paragraph. Apparently it has to do with doing away with renewable energy tax credits and the construction jobs they would have created. The whole press release could have been written much more clearly and directly in terms of the bill's effect on construction workers.

"Our three million members are ready, willing, and able to build this country into the world's
undisputed energy superpower. But this bill takes their jobs away and undermines that
mission. Slashing energy tax credits and layering on harmful restrictions is no way to power
America's future, economically or in terms of national energy security. Critical infrastructure
projects essential to that future are being sacrificed at the altar of ideology."

Read the damned bill, it is all there in black and white.
