For Workers, Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful’ Money Bill ‘Gets Worse And Worse’
Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports for Workers and their allies, the more you look at GOP President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful” money Bill - also known as reconciliation - the worse and worse it gets. Trying to quell the firestorm of opposition that has even some loyal MAGA Lawmakers worried about their futures, he is adding all kinds of tidbits to make people forget that it will destroy health care, among many other things, for millions. In the massive reconciliation Bill being considered in the MAGA-controlled House there are items like a $500 hike in the child tax credit, a $1,000 check to be placed in a MAGA account for babies born during the Trump term, but not after it ends, an end to taxes on tips and overtime pay and a variety of other measures the President claims will shower hundreds of dollars in benefits on Working People. The tasty morsels have no effect on the basic nature of the bill which involves a devastating almost $800 billion cut in Medicaid, the removal of health entirely from 13 million or more people who now have it, the virtual destruction of the Affordable Care Act, and other attacks on the living standards of the people in order to pay for massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. Those are the Lawmakers, along with all others, that the National AFL-CIO, which is leading the charge against the reconciliation Bill, wants people to call. The toll-free number: 231-400-0602. “Congress is considering a budget that would kick at least 8.6 MILLION people off Medicaid, America’s largest health care coverage service. Working People should not have their essential services cut to pay for even more tax breaks for billionaires,” the National AFL-CIO said. “This would gut health care for kids and nursing home care. Call Congress and tell them no cuts to Medicaid!”
