Trump Just Went Absolutely Nuclear in Screwing Over MAGA Voters

For at least the last half century of American policy, the Republicans used three distinct scams to hide the deeply regressive nature of their priorities and their agenda to voters. Trumpism, in its idealized form, was supposed to represent a break with this way of doing politics and politicians at a fundamental level. However, now that the Congress has adopted the Big Budget Bill of President Trump, the three drawbacks are alive – and have even been supercharged in something more venal and deceptive.

To appropriate a sentence used for a long time to describe the GOP coalition, these are the “three-legged stools” of Trump-Gop Subterfuge. The three legs of the scam – call this “three -legged scam” – are as follows:

• The deficits represent a civilizational threat to our country and the American experience, but only when a democrat is in the White House.
• Defigit problems are not a case against tax reductions for the rich, as they will trigger massive growth and generate income that compensates more than those who have lost for tax reductions.
• But deficit problems TO DO require deep cuts on the social security net, which will not harm the real needy, because they are largely aimed at targeting the fraud that leads the system and creating a massive class of social parasites.

All of this is now evident that the Chamber has narrowly adopted the version of the Senate of the Trump budget bill, which he will sign in the coming days.

Basically, the bill is a massive ascending redistribution engine. It reduces more than $ 1 dollars on health care, most of Medicaid. Between this and other changes to the affordable care law, at least 17 million people may lose health insurance. He brings the food coup programs wildly.

Meanwhile, the tax reductions in the bill – which nominally reach all income groups – practice sumptuous stratospheric disproportionate advantages on high employees. The tax relief from the millionaires More than 800 times larger that the tiny granted to the lowest employees, the center of budget and political priorities. For many at the lower end, the tiny tax reductions are canceled by cuts in social programs. The overall result of the invoice, for a largely cited analysis: the lower quintile sees a clear drop in resources while those of the highest 1% benefit from a gain of $ 30,000.

Here is where the three -legged scam is.

The first step – the cunning of the deficit – is the most obvious. The Republicans used false deficit problems to attack the ACA for years, then impose austerity and slow down the recovery under President Barack Obama. They played this game when President Joe Biden led to desperately necessary social expenses in the midst of an emergency pandemic.
