Massive tax breaks for billionaires, yet cutting $500B from Medicare, $700B cut to Medicaid, cut $300B for food for poor

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting 0B from Medicaid, 0B from Medicare, and 0B in food assistance STILL leaves a T deficit.

1. It's what Republicans have been doing since Saint Fucking Ronnie Reagan

He made it acceptable to screw the poor!

2. There is no bottom to their depravity and greed.

3. One thing to keep in mind ...

These numbers are total cuts over 10 years, and some of the reduction will be based on not letting spending on these programs grow with inflation. That means a much larger effective cut in year 10 than year 1. A new Democratic Administration in 2029 would be able to reverse the worst of this awful budget.

4. It's a start.

5. The 10 richest Americans made 365 billion dollars last year

The average American made 50,000 dollars. It would take the average 10 Americans 176,000 years to make what the 10 richest made in 1 year.

These tax cuts are basically for 70 people. The 4 trillion dollar addition to the debt is low ball, I say 7 trillion.

These tax cuts are projected for the next 10 years but these tax cuts are permanent.

7. I really don't understand how they can make something like this permanent

Doesn't make sense. Everything is subject to change.

6. And after they pass this tax cut, they will immediately start working on the next one.

The rich will suck this nation dry, and then the world.
