That SALT tax issue that nearly sunk Trump's Big Beautiful Bill has returned in the Senate and Republicans are already warning that it could kill the legislation.
I don’t think the Republicans realize yet how damaging this bill will be to them! At this point, they just wanna bend the knee and show the 🍑 💩 that they’ll follow him anywhere! “Just protect us and our money!!!”
Well, Musk is right that this bill is an abomination, but not for the reasons he says it is. Want to cut spending and reduce/eliminate annual deficits? Start with cutting the trillion dollars going to the defense department and eliminating the additional $158 billion being added to it; forget spending $2 billion to retrofit the"free airplane" from Qatar; and, finally, not only let the 2017 tax cuts for the rich and corporations expire but start eliminating the multitude of tax deductions, exemptions, write-offs, and loopholes that allow these same groups to avoid paying taxes at all. Then we will have money for all of the critical and sensible federal jobs, programs, and services that Trump and these vile Republican sycophant bastards have already cut.
I don't want to get my hopes up because we've been hyped before and then the republicans all fall in line. The only thing that stands out is Elon Musk is on the rampage against it and now trump has no money bags behind him to go and primary every one of the "R's" if they didn't fall in line.
So, until it falls and fails, I am going to try to keep breathing normally.
I'll believe this Bill is dead when I see it. Even then, it will go back to the House for them to pretend like they have reservations (like MTG saying she never would have voted for it had she known . . . . Apparently, she didn't need to read it ?!? Repuclicans are famous for hemming and hawing only to vote in lockstep in the eleventh hour.
Eliminating the safety nets in this country is outright murder of the very old, the very young, and our veterans. The radical right wing lunatics do not value any of these lives. They have shown it over and over again.
The big thing is Trump being handed a loss. Once Republicans start standing up to Trump they may not stop. Getting a taste of their power might whet their appetite for more.
The problems are enormous with this bilious bill. The top earners, both individuals and corporations in this country need to pay more in taxes. None of the programs such as Medicaid, Medicare , Social Security or Snap should be cut! The needs are real! Why is a larger expenditure on Defense necessary? Cutting funds for our national parks is wrong! Allowing drilling on public lands is wrong. Giving ‘47 additional powers that could result in his being able to have greater power - an often missed small section of this bill is wrong! This message touches on just a few of the problems with this bilious bill.
Want to know more about those loop holes for the rich? I posted a breakdown of them on my Substack this morning. Income is Income and I don't care how it was earned, taxes need to be collected on it just as the average person contributing to the taxing system.
The Big Beautiful Bill was over before it got started;it was wishful thinking; it was only beautiful to Trump!Republicans take the blinders off; it is time to see and hear the people who voted for you.
Fantastic news should this rip off bill fail. Just why should billionaires & multi millionaires be awarded huge tax breaks? Apply those tax monies to our national debt. Force Trump to do something appropriate for once in his life, and it would actually help make America great! (again)
I posted this morning on my SubStack about the Tax Loopholes for the "elite". I don't care where their income comes from. Income is Income and it should be taxed just as ours is!
Terrible bill that should never have gone this far! The republicans continue to show that they could care less about the American people!

Horrible affront to American people!

Well put Stuart.
For a breakdown of those tax Loopholes see my SubStack. Income is Income, I don't care where it comes from, it should be taxed!

Over 2/3rds did not read it, they just passed the buck hoping no one else would read it either.
I know!😡
IT BETTER FAIL, JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THE 🤡 TOUCHES!! It’s OUR country and we cannot allow MAGA to destroy it. 💪
The words "big" and "beautiful" should never have been used to describe anything relating to Trump.
Uh, his ass is big.
As is his ego...
Kneecap that bill!

I hope it sinks far far below the earth it could never be seen again.
The bill is primarily for a ta d cut for the rich and no other purpose and should be defeated
How sad...."Thoughts and prayers, Bloated Yam."
