This bill was the moment where House and Senate Republicans had to decide if they served their constituents, or if they served Donald Trump. The answer, of course, is that they're unprincipled spineless cowardly faggots who serve Donald Trump. It doesn't matter, the bulk of their constituents are so fucking stupid that they'll vote for the same people fucking them over when the next election rolls around as long as Trump tells them to.
They know how unpopular this bill is, that's why the medicaid cuts kick in on December 31st 2026, it's a last desperate bit of trickery to try and save as many Republican seats as possible in next year's midterms, and then use the economic fallout of this bill over the next decade to blame inevitably shitty economy on the Democrat that's going to replace Trump in the next election cycle.
This cycle has been going on since the fucking 90s.
>Republicans inflate the debt ceiling to benefit their rich buddies and fuck over the poor,

>Democrats clean up a decent amount of mess without making too much noise,
>the media gets bored and the voters tune out,
>the left starts to pick itself apart over momentary pet causes,
>Americans decide to put their hand on the hot stove again,
>fuck themselves over for a generation,
