GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich, CUT MEDICAID AND FOOD STAMPS

So this thread is basically pointless....

 

I wouldn't go that far . . . obviously the cuts would have to come from somewhere. But to jump all over the "PEOPLE WILL DIE" assertion right from the get go, well, that's a little much. Or at least a little premature.

 

also, these kinds of preliminary budget proposals are almost always simply the opening salvo of what will be a long, drawn-out budget negotiation process. I'd be very surprised if much if any of this survives in its present form to the very end.

 

Yah, that's why its a proposal.... Gonna go listen to some Severo before the game starts....

 

if Trump really cared about The People he would make sure Severo played halftime shows at every single NBA arena at least twice a season

 

Not sure why Trump has not made an announcement on this already, its a no brainer that would pick up American morale instantly. Who doesn't like Severo?

 

I’m not so sure about that. Because they are eating the dogs!!!

 

if you're gonna use Executive Orders, by golly . . . USE THEM

 

Its prob because Mexico is trying to charge a tariff on Severo and Trump is not giving in....

 

USAID ought to give Severo cds out for free. World peace would be achieved within six months--tops.

 

CD's are too outdated according to @fchowd0311 , Severo should be broadcasted all over the world so that it can reach everyone.... FEMA should also be passing out band merch....

 

maybe a Sengun meme coin? not sure how that works

 

I'm spending all my savings on a Sengun meme coin....

 

Or maybe they could avoid being cut so elderly refugees don't die.

 

I disagree that the bolded line is nothing--the WSJ reporting is uniformly excellent and can generally be trusted. If they say Republicans somewhere have discussed cuts that don't affect beneficiaries, I'm going to believe their reporting--particularly in comparison to the article from Common Dreams cited in the original post. Sorry, but that's how I see it. There is absolutely NOTHING in the original post that suggest PEOPLE WILL DIE.

 

also, @HP3 , why aren't you watching the game??

reported.

 

I make over 50k a year. Globally, I am considered very wealthy. How do i get this tax cut you speak of.

 

The WSJ reporting is actually quite decent. It is all done through a financial lens and that skews some things. Their editorial board is not expemlorary in any way. It has an extreme bias towards the right.
