Are you listening MAGA?

"Elon Musk is continuing his attacks on Trump's signature bill on Wednesday with a barrage of posts slamming the mega-bill, saying, "No one should be able to stomach it."

Musk posted or helped amplify posts on X criticizing the bill more than 25 times.

"Mammoth spending bills are bankrupting America! ENOUGH!" ~Musk

"Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL." ~Musk

Musk, who obviously has no idea what the GOP stands for said, "We need a new bill that doesn't grow the deficit."

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/elon-musk-privatel...

George Bush (41) took the deficit to -$300 billion per year.
Clinton got it to zero. During his presidency, Clinton managed to zero out the deficit and end his term with a +$128 billion per year surplus.
Lil' Bush (43) went from a surplus to -$1.4 trillion per year.
Obama halved it to -$600 billion per year.
Taco Trump, "The king of bankruptcy" then ramped the deficit up to an unheard of -$2 Trillion per year!
Now he's trying to pile on trillions more! Winning!

"Trump's team is the Corleones with no experience." ~Chris Christie, Life-long republican

"Trump is a @#$%ing moron!" ~Rex Tillerson, Life-long republican

a. oops, didnt really read the bill....and MAGA can totally empathize w/reading tasks.

b. stay busy w/ grifting culture wars for publicity, regardless of benefit or outcome.

Latest Estimates Show Trumps Big Ugly Bill Will Add Over $4 Trillion to Debt!

But don't take my word for it...

"The latest Senate bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country.
It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future." ~Elon Musk

"If Congress cuts funding for Medicaid benefits, Missouri workers and their children will lose their health care. And hospitals will close. It’s that simple. And that pattern will replicate in states across the country." ~Josh Hawley

"It is inescapable this bill will betray the promise Donald Trump made. I'm telling the president that you have been misinformed. The Senate bill will hurt people who are eligible and qualified for Medicaid.

What do I tell 663,000 people in two years, three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding's not there anymore?" ~Thom Tillis

Republican Senator Thom Thillis is voting against the BBB and not running again and speaking his mind freely.
Why do Republicans have to resign from office before they can speak the truth?

Short answer: their retirement funds no longer depend on lying.

Kamala sure looks good right now.

Didn't Trump run on eliminating debt and deficit? Is this what he gets on Mt Rushmore for, $4 trillion more debt?
