Those Bitches: GOP

It seems that House Republicans are passing around a “menu” of more than $5 trillion in cuts they could use to bankroll The Felon’s top priorities this year—not the price of eggs and not the price of gas—like tax cuts for Elon and Bezos and Zuckerberg and deporting 11 million immigrants.

So, what is the GOP going to cut to pay to keep the rich getting rich and the brown people over the border?

They want to make changes to Medicare and end the Biden administration climate programs, along with slashing welfare and “reimagining” the Affordable Care Act.

Yup; they are coming for your healthcare and welfare and climate change policies that make help as hurricanes get stronger, tornadoes become more common and droughts and winds spawn massive wildfires.

But it’s okay, right, if Elon can build another rocket to explode and Bezos can buy another yacht and Zuckerberg can have more money that most countries could spend in hundreds of years.

To be fair, with the extremely narrow margins the GOP has in the House and Senate these cuts to the ACA and any anti-hunger program would spark opposition from Democrats and also face some GOP resistance. House Speaker Mike Johnson can’t afford any Republican defections if he wants to pass a package on party lines.

Even proposed cuts to green energy tax credits, worth as much as $500 billion, could be tricky  as 18 House Republicans—14 of whom won reelection in November—warned Johnson against prematurely repealing some of the Inflation Reduction Act’s energy tax credits, which are funding multiple manufacturing projects in GOP districts.

So, it’s not a done deal, but keep in mind, These Bitches, AKA the GOP, will come for programs that benefits many Americans in order to satisfy a few billionaires and corporations.
