Senate GOP deeply divided over cutting cost of 'big, beautiful bill'

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Senate Republicans are deeply divided over how to cut the cost of House-passed legislation to enact President Trump’s agenda, which Elon Musk has attacked as a “mountain of disgusting pork” and fiscal conservatives on Capitol Hill say doesn’t do enough to cut the deficit.

Facing a jittery bond market and scathing criticism from Musk, GOP lawmakers have expanded their search for ways to reduce the deficit by cutting Medicare, the Defense Department and the Federal Reserve — areas of the budget that were considered off-limits just a few weeks ago.

But each new proposal is creating new divisions.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is warning colleagues to steer clear of cutting Medicare spending, even though proponents of the idea insist it would be targeted only on “waste, fraud and abuse.”

1. I wish everyone would stop with the aliteration name...

This is SERIOUS, it is the solvency of our nation, the continued strip mining of wealth transfer up to the 0.01% and the end of the USD as world reserve currency. In other words - it is NOT ok to use Bernanstein Bears B-Book aliterations and dumbed down to 2nd grade reading level analysis of this atrocity so that one idiotic fascist jackass can smirk and say it without having to think...

Big.
Big Blue.
Big Blue Bull.
Big Blue Bull Biking Backwards.

Someone, anyone, please make Trumpism go away before it really does manage to kill us all.
This is the Financial Ruin and Destruction of the USA bill. Or it is the Six-Trillion Dollar Heist (forget about making $6M men...)

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Don't worry - I'm sure they're very "concerned", but will find a way to overcome those "concerns" . . .

Once they wrap the plastic bag around the face of their collective conscience, I'm sure that will make those nasty "concerns" go away in short order.

Convenient!!
