Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon voted for the Big Beautiful Bill and did a good job with it (https://senateconservatives.substack.com/p/a-big-beautiful-first-step). This bill made the Trump tax cuts permanent.
Yet, within 15 seconds, the progressive left went on the attack. At the same time, the bean-counting bureaucracy of the CBO claimed it will increase the deficit while ignoring the economic impact and other sources of government revenues (https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/congresss-cracked-crystal-ball/).
Next attack is the supposed Medicaid “cuts”. There is a bit of mythical math going on here. During the COVID pandemic, Medicaid was greatly expanded by abandoning eligibility requirements. The Big Beautiful Bill merely rolls these back (https://www.dickmorris.com/medicaid-grew-during-the-pandemic-all-trump-is-doing-is-rolling-it-back-lunch-alert/). But I would also add, Medicaid is way overrated. No one should rely on it at all.
Yet, the most egregious lie has been the claim the Big Beautiful Bill is just a tax cut for billionaires which is one heck of a whopper of a lie. Congressman Bacon fought back on this allegation.
And the facts back him up (https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/millionaires-now-pay-nearly-40-of-the-income-tax/ and https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/do-the-rich-pay-their-fair-share-in-taxes/). All of this is good reason to cheer on Don Bacon.
Yet, about 250 people apparently protested Bacon’s vote (https://omaha.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/article_c7db58de-8912-4af0-8ab0-4078a6eda7a3.html behind paywall). I am pondering whether or not to raise funds for these disturbed souless people so as to provide them with diapers and pacifers of which they so critically need.
Good comments! I’m so sick of liberals!
I like this man regardless what they say Don Bacon
