Why the OBBB has a problem. If Senate rumors are true - once to the House, it
1) potentially (bill does not exist yet) adds over $1 Trillion to deficit in budget window,
2) fails to terminate the Green New Scam - leaving hundreds of billions of subsidies in place,
3) cuts back on core Food Stamp (SNAP) reforms to tune of $137B,
4) eliminates tax on remittances designed to reduce illegal immigration - $24B,
5) fails to address the 7X payment to able-bodied adults through FMAP in Medicaid and leaves in place the core engine of the Medicaid money-laundering scam,
6) creates open-ended expansive RECA fund ($6B on paper, likely well over $100B),
7) completely removes the bare-bones yet really important Health Savings Accounts expansion to expand healthcare freedom for Americans,
8) reduces the House’s reduction of Higher Ed pork going to leftist Universities ($30B),
9) continues to allow taxpayer funded transgender surgeries under Obamacare,
10) will restore most or all of the expansion of the federal tax breaks for big-tax (usually blue state) jurisdictions (CA, NY) known as SALT - noted as $339B, likely slightly less - guessing $250B,
11) restores the ability of China to profit on Green New Scam subsidies,
12) waters down (already weak) efforts to hold the rogue judges blocking President Trump’s agenda,
13) leaves in place limits on state AI regulations (used by states to protect their constituents),
14) Many other concerns not addressed here.
We are not looking for perfect - but we are looking for something big and beautiful.
