Trump’s budget bill sells out America’s future — soon, Republicans will pay
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.
