Senate just passed BBB

Like a lot of Floridians I’m looking forward to the increased limit on local property tax deduction.

It was a squeaker in the Senate. The House can't make too many serious revisions without jeopardizing it in a final Senate vote. This bill will most likely end up in conference committee, where hopefully the final pieces can be hashed out.

Hopefully the house stalls this shit as long as possible.

No matter who passes what, the middle-class American gets fucking squeezed between the twin assholes of rich/poor.

Millions of people will lose their healthcare because of this. All of our healthcare premiums will now increase and multiple hospitals and nursing homes will close due to this horrible bill. This bill fucks all of us. You'll see.

^ Instead of hysterically shrieking like a 5-year-old girl, try posting the source of the urine dribbling down your leg. By the way, have you heard about the billions of tariffs we received last month, setting an all-time record?

And why are are GDP numbers down if tariffs are so great skibum?

Because of a work requirement for grown ass able bodied adults? If so then I don't give a shit as they never should have been on Medicaid in the first place.

^^^Um because they have nothing to do with each other. I cannot believe I lost money in my 401k; after all it is sunny out today. Explain this conundrum, Dusty.

So where exactly are you seeing the positive benefits of the tariffs? They are making your life better how?

Biden wasn't able to accomplish a negative GDP but Trump was able to. Biden added jobs. Trump lost jobs. Tariffs are a failure just like every Trump economic policy has been.

Biden added a few jobs of course, but that was after millions lost jobs in the pandemic and as such only a fucking moron would think Biden succeed. As far as Tariffs making my life better? Nope. Republicans never make my life better and I don't expect them to. Democrats make my life worse daily and as such they can go fuck themselves with Muslim cock.

===> "Democrats make my life worse daily."

Yes they do. Not that dusty can process that. You see, in his mind, inheriting an already recovering economy and then putting it on a blowout spending sugar high is a big government win. Then he can tout job gains and positive GDP despite everything the Dems did to fuck it up, not only with runaway inflation but also putting their feet on the necks of a variety of industries via a mountain of regulatory edicts.
.
So in his mind, the problem wasn't the economy, but messaging. Dusty thinks he's the smart one and the voters just didn't know what was good for them. And whenever pesky concepts like real lost purchasing power for lower income consumers would come up, he'd just poo poo them away and point back to his selective numbers and then maybe double down with the need for more regs to increase lower income wages. 😉

I buy Chinese tonic herbs which were the same price for years but in the last 2 months prices have skyrocketed because of tariffs. Multiple food costs have also increased. Items at Trader Joe's were the same price for years increased in price because of tariffs in the last 2 months. There are more examples than that at local restaurants. The only thing most people have seen from tariffs is increased prices.

I think on balance this bill will have positive tax implications for me. But whatever I save is going to be washed out by the tsunami of inflationary impacts adding 3 fucking trillion to the debt will have.

We spent less on the pandemic, and look at the inflation that caused. Republicans are such hypocrites. They rail about deficit spending when out of power then spend massively on cutting taxes for the wealthy in office.

Also, I don't know how much sympathy I'm going to garner for the rural Trump supporters whose faces get eaten by leopards when they lose their healthcare and the only hospital in their holler closes for good. This bill is a great way to turn WV, AK, NC, NE, GA and other states blue.

Bang up job. Brilliant even.

So absolutely asinine for progressives to keep impotently bleating that MAGA is going to turn blue once they realize what trump did to them. Get a clue. Buy a vowel. Listen to something other than fake left wing news. MAGA hates you. They will never be you. MAGA is Trump's base, just like criminals, illegals, drug addicts,, leeches and welfare queens are the democratic base. The few left in the middle decide. They decided that they hate democrats. Luckily the news is letting us know about the sick, jew hating, foreign communist who wants to tax white people only is now the idol of the democratic party. You dumb fucks make ignorance an art form.

LIB COPE SQUAD IN THE HIZZZOUSE!!!!!

Biden's job numbers keep getting revised downwards, and most of them in the first place were public sector or public sector adjacent.

More than lying about Biden's health or Harris being a shite candidate, Dems lost in 2024 because they repeatedly told the American people we were doing better than we were. That all their green nonsense spending was worth getting PTSD at the pump and the grocery store. That we didn't know what was best for ourselves.

I'd rather have seen some real spending cuts though--and was always against the Trump tax cuts--we'll all become deficit hawks when we get downgraded.

But there's a ton of waste to cut out of Medicaid. A lot of "nonprofit" hospital chains have made scamming Medicaid via matching funds down to a science, and of course they're going to claim every cut is a death blow.

And for all the Lib Cope Squad here claims to care about the deficit, they caterwaul when a single federal position gets eliminated, and can't open their wallets fast enough when the word "green" gets spoken. It's pissing off the right people here, so it can't be all bad.

@rickdugan - better watch yourself, or dustyj's gonna fly down to Jax and go pickup basketball on your ass! (He still hasn't confirmed nor denied that scoring four touchdowns for Polk High was the highlight of his life.)

Puddy I was actually stronger and faster years after of high school. Unlike most Americans who drink, get fat and don't exercise as adults I enjoy competing and working out as an adult. So no high school wasn't the highlight of my life or peak athletically.

^ I'm sure you're the terror of the local Planet Fitness, bro.

Great day to be a billionaire. Shitty day not to be.
