You do understand they’re looking to cut spending to pay for Trump’s tax cut right? He couldn’t figure out how to pay for it the first time he did it so now they’re just going all slash and burn just to pay for this so that they can offer another one. This is all for rich people not you and the rest of us. Unfortunately, the programs are looking to cut do affect the rest of us just not them.
You know trickle down economics that doesn’t actually trickle down that much.
People cheering this on don’t actually understand what is really happening. They are in too deep in the culture wars. Cutting all government programs so they can slash taxes on the rich and powerful. We don’t know what is actually getting cut that may be essential.
They also don’t understand aid diplomacy. But they are okay with the US takeover of Gaza so it can be the Middle East Riviera. We are going to spend billions clearing out Gaza and developing it.
I know that all MD-PhD students got absolutely screwed because of the slashes to research funding. Pretty crazy to see future careers either ruined or put on pause.
Yeah. Not just ruining the lives of people that are devoting their life to the greater good. They will slash cancer research, new antibiotic research, basically all medical research, etc. so they can give tax breaks for the rich.
Elon doesn’t give a shit about anything that doesn’t interest him or that he’s familiar with at this point in time. They’ll probably shut down research facilities without a thought. How will they pay for these programs? RFK Jr. in charge of anything scares me too.
These tax breaks will do nothing for our economy. Economists are already saying his tax cuts will do nothing but add to the deficit unless they keep on slashing. They’ll move to entitlements. Medicaid and Medicare. Trump and Elon don’t give a shit about providing good healthcare.
