Now That House Republicans Took the Plunge, It’s the Senate’s Turn
Senate Republicans say changes are coming for the sprawling domestic policy bill carrying President Trump’s agenda. Their colleagues who took political risks to push it through the House might not like them.

To impose 3.5% ( or is it 5%) tax on foreign remittance on poor immigrants is just heartless.

US citizens may be exempted.

Replay of Trump's first administration. Tax cut for billionaires, piling up record debt, and destroying the value of the dollar. "If you seek his monument, look around you."

Welfare recipients may also not like it.

 

"[The] House bill is going to add about $4 trillion to the debt ceiling. The Senate bill adds $5 trillion. There's nothing fiscally conservative about expanding the debt ceiling more than we've ever done it before," Republican Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday. "This will be the greatest increase in the debt ceiling ever, and the GOP owns this now … the deficit this year will be $2.2 trillion the GOP owns that now too."

Some Senate Republicans are calling for steeper spending cuts so that raising the debt limit would not be part of this bill.

If you pay US taxes you got a tax cut.   You are all over the place with your reply.

It’s not a tax cut for billionaires.  Everyone who has earned income had a tax cut.

Will add an additional 2 TRILLION to the debt.

Hilarious how republicans only care about debt when they're not in power.

[Jingthing]

I am very curious about something that was in the house bill.

That they wished it was still secret clause that makes Trump the American KING.

Is it still in the bill passed to the senate?
If so, can the senate be counted on the remove it?

 

'Hidden' Provision in Trump's Big Bill Could Disarm US Supreme Court - Newsweek

Quote

 

Robert Reich, a former Labor Secretary and a professor of public policy at the University of California Berkeley, wrote in a Substack post that the "hidden" provision "makes Trump King."

He wrote: "No congress and no court could stop him. Even if a future Congress were to try to stop him, it could not do so without the power of the courts to enforce their hearings, investigations, subpoenas, and laws. What can you do? To begin with, call your members of Congress and tell them not to pass Trump's One Big Ugly Bill."

There is no way I'm reading the bill.

Does anyone know if the make Trump King clause is still in the bill or not?

It may be the most momentous clause in American history IF it's there and passes the senate.

This is the federal rule referenced in the bill.

Courts will not receive federal funding to enforce contempt actions. Simply, the President can ignore the Courts. He can ignore Congress. Its the end of Constitutional Law. Of course, he might not ignore the Courts. He might not ignore Congress. He might not arbitrarily arrest opponants and journalists. He might not suspend elections. But he can do all those things.
