Just like Allan Greenspan used to do. I first lost respect for the corporate media when they played him up as some sort of Oracle rather than just a partisan hack.
Rs who voted for this bill in contested or even safe districts will have to answer for this. I've got some bad news for you, your constitutes are pssssssd 😠 😡 😤. Biden blaming no longer works. You own this... I hope there is 217 extra seats on a Mars spacecraft.
Same craven GOP #Trumpublican😵💫Cultists who passed the 2017 #TrumpTaxCutScam ($1.5 TRILLION in “welfare for the rich”) & ballooned $8.2 TRIL in added 🇺🇸Nat’l DEBT r back 2 @ scene of CRIME‼️
Final INSULT is $4.5 TRIL💸 in NEW Tax Cuts for🤑RICH & a staggering $19 TRIL in BUDGET DEFICIT$📈🌋next 10 years‼️🤬
Supposedly right wing religious types vote to give more money to the rich by taking it from the poor and needy. Never will I ever understand this level of unprincipled hypocrisy.
Not only does this budget steal from the American people but it sets the foundation for this century's Holocaust. For the purge of those in nursing homes, assisted living homes and seriously ill people. 77 million people in medicaid. These cuts means certain death for thousands if not millions.
1. Stop giving oil companies subsidies (money)
2. Tax the Mega Churches.
3. Tax Billionaires the same percentage that school teachers are taxed.
4. Cut military spending.
5.Look at how much is spent at Trump properties by our government.
These are deeply cynical politicians who first want to line the pockets of their wealthy constituents, and then cut the social safety net for millions of poor Americans.
Dems motto should be: America First means tax breaks for the wealthy with no trickle-down scraps for the average American.
Fuck em. We’re coming for em. We don’t even need Democratic leaders for what’s heading at these fuckers. You leave your people to hang out to dry the people will find you.
There are no principled GOP people left. They are only budget/debt hawks when democrats are in power, and only to inanely obstruct all progress. The right is a plague on society. There’s no honest, kinder way to put it…
Man of God starving the hungry and stealing from the poor . Sadly I don’t think many who voted for this will catch on until the cuts appear in their checks or benefits .
John Lewis said,”Make good trouble. If every middle class and poor American quit buying products made by the rich, they might remember who made them rich.

Is a nursing home in the future for yourself or parents? Looking forward to bedsores, neglect? Proposed republican budget will eliminate minimum nursing home staffing, cost of $22B/10yrs, to pay for elimination of ALL death tax, cost $370B/10yrs for wealthy ($12.9M exclusion obviously not enough).
It's not waste or savings, when you feed the disabled, the poor, the hungry, you provide health insurance to those who can't afford it, assist poor kids and their families. If you don't do all that when you have the power and money to do it, then your existence is a waste of flesh. You're not human.
Isn’t he supposed to be some sort of follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ?
This feels more ‘rape and pillage’ to me, and I don’t recall that ever being part of Jesus Christ message.
These aren't conservatives. These are russian comrades. They are terrorists in suits 😡😡😡 how else do you describe a handful of people condemning millions to suffering/death 🤬
I can already hear the echoes of their 2026 excuse making reverberating back in time to today:
“I didn’t vote against Medicaid cuts. I didn’t vote against veterans cuts. I voted for tax cuts for the middle class” (even though this is a tax INCREASE for the middle class).
What a shit article from @nbcnews.com to cloud the fact that Republicans tried some good old fashioned chicanery to pass it first. Called it a night then tried to call a vote while Dems were outside the room. Scum.
@nbcnews.com calls kicking 2/3 of elderly patients out of skilled nursing “A WIN” for Johnson. What the fuck is it that republicans want to see? Just death everywhere? And why would anyone at NBC ever think of the word “win”? That is some NAZI framing there.
Well said. It's unfortunate others have to suffer, as well. I'm sure you and many others, along with myself, tried to explain much of this to cult members who thought they knew better. I have a MAGA friend who is starting to feel it. Surely others are coming around, too.
Further proof that “fiscal conservatism” was yet another pleasant euphemism for their regressive, reactionary approach towards any democratic progress and economic policies that have made the country more stable.
I'm old enough to remember the five or so minutes that they tried on "compassionate conservativism" as their brand, but then abandoned it because they couldn't even keep up that ruse with a straight face.
🤣 Yes! There’s nothing compassionate about their notions of white, male, religious supremacy. Taking away our rights with a big smile is still taking away our rights. 🤷🏽♀️

Despite supposedly being a conservative.
There is only 1 principle...
'Power through Wealth'
The world is watching and they certainly don't speak for us.

Your Welcome!

They only care about enriching themselves and billionaires! Republicans do not care about hardworking Americans!

Maybe I’m wrong though.
“I didn’t vote against Medicaid cuts. I didn’t vote against veterans cuts. I voted for tax cuts for the middle class” (even though this is a tax INCREASE for the middle class).
Same playbook
So disgusting to see in what used to be The United States of America
