The "Horse & Sparrow Big Beautiful Bill" Passed the House Committee Vote
The vote before the entire House is expected this week.
This bill doesn't give tax breaks to billionaires for 10 years, it gives tax breaks to billionaires permanently.
It is being scored for 10 years, and the numbers that some are putting out are way off. This bill will add at least 4.7 trillion dollars to the deficit over 10 years. I heard Chris Murphy say it will add 7 trillion.
The tax cuts for billionaires will happen immediately, and the gashing of the social net will come later so as to give Congressional Magats some cover and time to be reelected and get their stories straight.
This is a horrible bill, once the poor and working class lose benefits, it is damn hard to get them back.
Not enough debate, fuck, I have seen zero debate, about why we need to give more money to billionaires. Want to seriously reduce the deficit? Tax the rich.
We are going to feed the horse more oats so the sparrows have plenty to eat.
This bill is going to kill a lot of people, and Democrats need to frame it that way. This bill isn't about economics, it's about life and death.

Late 19th century Populists derided the fraud of trickle-down economics as the "Horse-and-Sparrow" theory: "Feed the horse enough oats, and eventually some will find their way onto the road for the sparrows to find.” 
Repeal the Reagan Tax Cuts
the Bush Tax Cuts
the Trump Tax Cuts
Equality in taxation
There will be significant pressure on moderate Dems in both chambers to provide a few votes.
