WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN?



Donald Trump's initiated 'Big Beautiful Bill' (Democrats call it the 'Big Ugly Bill) narrowly passed in both the Senate and Congress yesterday underscoring how low USA has fallen in decency, empathy and commonsense.
The supporters of the bill and the republicans who voted for it will, in time regret their decision and no doubt many will pretend that they didn't vote for it nor agree with its content. Time will tell - especially next year in the mid-term voting.

Congressmen and Congresswomen who have nothing to fear are the 212 Democrats (all of them) and the two Republicans who voted against it. The warm glow they might receive from doing so though will be cooled by the likely disastrous fallout of the bill's provisions:
  • the US will lift its debt ceiling  by $5 trillion.
  • the country’s deficit will increase by $3.3 trillion 
  • tens of billions will be poured into immigration enforcement making effectively turning USA into a police state similar to Germany in the 1930s
  • massive tax cuts will be given to the rich and the super rich
  • the middle class and the poor will be stripped of social benefits like Medicaid, food stamps and school meals to cover the increased costs and tax breaks
  • 17 million people will lose health insurance cover
It is the greatest redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich that the country has ever seen.



Countries have had governments overthrown for less.





 “What are the Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove??? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY, AND IT’S COSTING YOU VOTES!!!”

Those words, unintentionally with a double meaning, will bite him on his big orange bum soon.
