Sam Stein of The Bulwark points out that the new bill also excludes funding for research on premature labor, sickle cell disease treatment, early detection of breast and cervical cancer, the Rural Broadband Protection Act, an anti-deepfake porn bill, and more.

Republican tax cuts are the driving force behind the country’s worsening fiscal outlook If not for the Bush tax cuts and their extensions — as well as the Trump tax cuts — revenues would be on track to keep pace with spending indefinitely, Instead, these tax cuts have added $10 trillion to the debt since their enactment and are responsible for 57 percent of the increase in the debt ratio since 2001

Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president. https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office

1. So the pro-breeding advisor of the forced gestation/birth party convinced them to

avoid minimizing avoidable childhood deaths...

*checks notes*

Yeah, that checks out, very consistent with their record. It isn't actually about the children, and never was.

15. It has only and always been about control thru cruelty ... more on the way

3. Did they keep the raise for members of congress in the bill ?

Eloon is pro-child cancer.

12. It's easy to see why musk attacked this bill.

The Rural Broadband Protection Act runs counter to his “world domination” Starlink strategy. He doesn’t care how many kids get cancer as long as he’s the dominant force in rural broadband.
