To be fair - he said he would do this. Kamala said he would do this. The media said he would do this. Amazes me why people are so surprised when he just does everything he said he would.
FOX News didn’t say it though, and the idiots that voted for him only watch that network.
My dad watches it all the time and I can’t count the number of times I told him the sh*t Trump said and my dad said “He didn’t say that, you’re just making that up”.
How do you reason with people like that?
This is the American free speech/press without the accompanying accountability and responsibility today. A case study on how unbridled “freedom” eventually inevitable spirals into destruction.
Is it really “freedom”? Or is this just the American excuse for second rate? Seems to me that truth is increasingly more elusive these days…maybe it always was. Tammany Hall, and all that.
FOX News has always been nothing but a propaganda network for the right-wingers.
Nothing about them involves free speech. Anyone who goes on there and presents facts or strays from the 24/7 Trump butt kissing is yelled over or their microphone’s shut off.
The arguments, the rolling eyes, the suggestion that I was just crazy to think he would do what he is just now doing. The assurances that WE would be grandfathered - those were the worst. None of us are protected unless all of us are, and we are not.
These facts are nice but what are our reps going to do to save our country and our White House they're paid to keep our country intact for Americans and they're not doing a very good job we need our money back
If you promise people one thing and then damage them financially, what was the word for that again? Luckily Trump is now Supreme-Court-criminally immune.
If MAGA EXTREMISTS compares Trump's achievements in 1st or up to now in 2nd, one will see that the only thing Trump did was in 2017 the Tax Cut Act which added $8 Trillion to Deficit and now trying to pass the Big Bill which will add $18 Trillion to Deficit. Great Achievement of a "stable genius"!
Mr Secretary, it's odd that MAGA always criticizes Biden as being old and feeble! BUT within two years Biden was able to pass the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure, Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHPS Act, and saved the Economy from a Recession that all predicted!
All while losing the programs paid for by your taxes that directly support the lower and lower-middle classes as well as those government functions that help society run. So now we get to pay more for less. Yep, Go MAGA😡
A fool is born every minute. Fools are raised to vote Republican. It's the upper class PLUS the fools. It's class-intellectual warfare. The wealthy plus the fools are hard to beat at the ballot box. So many fools. Fools losing their business say they'd vote for Trump again. No cure for foolishness.
Congress has proposed that we take 5.88% of subsistence income that had been labeled "waste" from one class, and appropriate it toward a 9.05% increase in discretionary spending that had been labeled "investment" for another class.
But over half of the federal budget already goes to some form of social safety net. So the real question isn’t just whether we should do more—but how much more is feasible, and how best to fund it without triggering unintended consequences.
On average, the top 10% of earners also earn 4x what the bottom 90% earn. It makes sense that they're paying more, and they could afford to pay much more than that.
Based on 2021 AGI data your 4X is likely closer to 10X, and growing! Still there are fewer people in the top 10% and their total earnings roughly equal the bottom 90%. This makes the wealthy an important piece of our shared cash cow; one we don't want leaving the US to retain more of their wealth.
Americans CLAIM Canadians pay high taxes, but people here making less than $20 000/yr pay NO TAXES. In Canada we also DON'T TAX Lottery Winnings. We also have tax payer funded Basic Healthcare for ALL LEGAL Citizens of Canada.
Dems should simply pull a George Costanza on this bill. We would do the exact opposite. Increase taxes on rich, decrease taxes on poor, expand Medicaid, fix and expand climate programs that were already creating jobs!
Those numbers are also unrealistic. They don't take into account the effects on the environment which will cost Americans BILLIONS in inflation from increased insurance costs, increased food prices, mass migrations
It is the worst expenditure of money in world history.
To look at it a different way, the poor, who are always one hospital trip or a car breakdown away from bankruptcy, will move even closer to that situation. The rich? They won’t feel the 300k bump - maybe they’ll buy 3 more bitcoin or put it towards that beach house they’ll use 2 weekends/ year.
I'm frantically trying to think of a "Depends" joke...
That's still a brand of adult diaper isn't it?
Not that I'm implying you should know.... I'm just gonna shut up and go away....
I really can't afford to lose $1,000 a year. Unfortunately though I live in a purple state both of my senators are Democrats so they're already against the big ugly bill
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson
As Professor Reich would tell you, if there was any truth to “trickle down Economics” all this money going to the richest should see all wages go up as they share their good fortune 🤣🤣🤣.
Yet I haven’t heard any Republican say this to defend this theft.
Isn't that something? And men like Speaker Blah-Blah are talking smack how the adults are in play while the VERY POOREST SOULS will pay the highest on what will be taken from them?
I HATE HIM.

no tax on tips is front page in almost every news paper today. WTF is that all about? 1st it's only on cash tips, nobody carries cash anymore. They should be talking about the cuts. Dumb assholes
I always pay cash tips. I do not expect them to be taxed outside of volunteering a credible number on the 1040, because I don’t expect them to be filed 😉
In other words, starve and take health care away from poor people to give more money Billionaire$ that they will never spend and just leave to their lazy ungrateful brats.

Please splain this to me Lucy😁. How does the budget bill “take” money from the economic groups? I’m willing to bet money that Robert can’t explain it either.
Exactly. Fascism doesn’t begin with uniforms.
It begins when the ruling class mistakes democracy as a threat to its hoarding.
They don't fear disorder—they fear economic justice.
And so they script collapse.
Rebrand control as “freedom.”
And call exploitation divine right.

I don't believe it's possible to live on that AND pay for any kind of shelter (much less any other needs). Shelter alone costs more than that PERIOD. I live on $12,000/yr but I live in my van in the woods and barely get by even at that.
Weed be screwed.

I worked for myself
and made little money.
I fed an alcohol habit too.
Then I inherited a house and 30k that
I stretched for years.
If I still drank I'd have nothing.
That was a lucky break to get a house & inheritance. Nothing like that was in the cards for me. Anyway, I like the woods. I like my van. But it certainly isn't life I wanted. Anyway, I'm retired and only have a few years left to subsist here, and frankly I'm glad about that.
I was lucky there too. Never wanted kids and never had to care for aging parents either. It's a good thing because there is no way I could have done either of those!

Shame on every one of them! How much money and power is ever enough for these greedy mother fuckers?! Get a hobby, take a hike. Try smiling. This obsession with greed and power is all consuming! Enough!
Exactly right. Which is why I foresee this eventually becoming bloody.
They don’t uphold the rule of law and they’re the ones with power right now; anyone who thinks they will uphold the rule of law when they don’t have the power is insane.
This didn't happen overnight. Trump is finishing off what started decades ago.
The 2025 document say it ALL. How we arrived and what is the end game.
Both Parties were in on this plan. It could not have happened otherwise.
If "WE THE PEOPLE" work together in spite of our differences we can end this
It's not warfare, it's bullying and we know who the bullies are and who's losing their lunch money. So let's stop pretending this is warfare since that assumes both sides can defend themselves equally
No surprise. But then between the taxaholic reps. in our legislature passing tax laws to benefit the rich and the fed. tax law the reps. passed, I'm already paying 12% on retirement income.

Hey Thanks for your service. Now you should be okay.
Because I said the catch phrase. Don’t worry about VA hospitals closing or lack of funding for veterans’ mental healthcare or disability benefits. We said thank you.
Biggest tax cut in history!
The wealthy will still Pay zero, but the uncollected amount they Owe will be a lot less.
Meanwhile, the destruction of government services in the name of “savings” is resulting in repair cost far exceeding the original spending. Only maga genii can truly comprehend it.
Can’t any of the democrat reps use numbers Robert Reich HAS PROVIDED and post it everywhere to fucking convince the majority? Never mind the absolute accuracy cos your moppet president makes shit up all the time!!
Yup. When lardass was in charge, my tax returns dropped by more than half. It's going to be a miracle that they don't make it so I end up having to pay more to these thieves

Why do they feel the need to fuck the people at the bottom of the socio-economic scale the worst? Why? Don't they know the difference between right and wrong?
A psychopathological disorder with a genetic basis? Which would mean they couldn't help being assholes, they had to, no choice.
Well, if we weren't all poor, they wouldn't have to punish us for it. It's like overdraft fees and reconnection fees for utilities, we have to pay for inconveniencing them with our poorness and lack of money to cover these things.
It is funny to recall when Republicans were accusing President Biden of waging 'class warfare' when he was trying to pass modest tax increases on corporations and the wealthiest Americans. It was a daily accusation from politicians and FOX News. Even the talk of closing tax loopholes was offensive.
I can't stress this enough: we must call them directly. Until they recognize our voice and enjoy talking to us. Also, make sure to email them. Ask for impeachment.

So when they say Make America Great Again I think it’s typical thought of as referring to the 50’s. Back when everything you just posted existed. MAGAts: a group of people who have no original thoughts or ideas or education at all
No women’s bodily autonomy rights or the right to open bank accts with a husbands permission. No civil rights no voting rights.
Sounds like a nightmare to me b
So, the poor people get poorer. Someone making 17k a year cannot afford to lose $1k. The ultra wealthy wouldn’t even notice that kind of loss, but it’s a big deal when you already earn very little. Gah, and then let’s cut Medicare/Medicaid and food stamps. People will die.
It was ALWAYS that. The rich ARE the right who managed to brainwash enough people to give themselves a false air of legitimacy. That's what it has always been.
The issue is that many of the left (politicians) are the rich as well, while pretending to care about the rest of us. The proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing
I'm familiar with their net worth already. I just don't know what you mean by "Left". Left vs Right for me is Anti-Capitalist vs Capitalist. I don't know of any American politician openly advocating for the dissolution of Capitalism. I need to know where your Overton window is.
Somehow the Reagan, Gingrich, McConnell GOP convinced the poorest americans to vote against their own self interest. We've been watching this shit show progress without true opposition for the last half century. Make no mistake, the dems may be different, but they are complicit
and how does the other side see this on X?
without exception, the Trumpbots are praising this budget for its numerous benefits to the working and middle classes,
for bringing in an economy based entirely on merit and hard work, and for ridding the country of Woke.
Children, I shit you not.
That these ghouls at the top would take what is arguably short money to them in trade with destroying the country and crushing the least among us is all you need to know to start a fucking revolution. Pitchforks and guillotines, baby.
Way too many people buy into the absurdity that austerity is the only path to economic success.
Because it makes sense at an individual level (thrift allows you to save) but completely breaks apart at the macro level (reduced velocity of money leads to slower growth).
Also, I think a lot of people think that money just disappears when the government spends it, not that it keeps moving through the economy until the government taxes it back.
Time to normalize 92% tax rate on the top 1%, period. Like the good 'ol days they want to take us all back to, but that part they want to ignore when THAT was the rate they wanted to eliminate since that time and now here we are, folks.

Apparently, storming the capitol is no longer (nor apparently was it ever) wrong, criminal, problematic or unpatriotic.
The Rich could afford Think Tanks and Media Companies to create PsyOps and Propaganda to convince you otherwise.
Their own kids can’t afford to have kids.
Because this is EXACTLY what it is.

#ReverseRobinHood
But tax policy rarely wins support based solely on who benefits—it wins on perception: fairness, aspiration, and resentment.
Will people wake up and vote BLUE in 2026? Will they see their disempowerment in time?
But over half of the federal budget already goes to some form of social safety net. So the real question isn’t just whether we should do more—but how much more is feasible, and how best to fund it without triggering unintended consequences.
But even that won’t be enough to fix our broken safety nets.
We also need to improve the efficiency and impact of how public goods and services are delivered.
It is the worst expenditure of money in world history.
