Elon Musk is right: the massive cash giveaway to the richest at the expense of the poorest that Senate Republicans passed this week is “utterly insane and destructive.”
Average Americans, and soon enough many Republican politicians, will regret the budget bill President Trump and the far-right have cooked up if, as expected, the full Congress passes a final version of the bill into law before the July 4 holiday.

‘It’s harsh. I mean, brutal’: Trump bill to cause most harm to America’s poorest
President embraces Robin-Hood-in-reverse policies to benefit wealthiest and hurt those earning under $50,000
Last November, Donald Trump made a solemn vow to all Americans: “Every citizen, I will fight for you, your family and your future every single day.” Eight months later, Trump is vigorously backing many policies that will mean pain for millions.
Trump has pushed to enact the Republican budget bill, which would make significant cuts to Medicaid, Obamacare, and food assistance, and would do the greatest damage to those Americans struggling hardest to make ends meet – the 30% of the US population that lives in households earning under $50,000 a year.

Psaki: Republicans will regret passing Trump’s bill as Democrats look to reprise 2018’s House flip
Jen Psaki looks back at how Democrats made Republicans pay for their efforts to kill Obamacare by making that a central focus of House races that ultimately flipped the House to Democratic control. Donald Trump's budget bill is so wildly unpopular that Democratic candidates are already preparing to run against the bill and anyone who supported it. Republicans, in the meantime, are busy trying to distract Americans from what they're doing.
