If you have been listening to Democrats in congress and their fawning supporters in the MSM, Republicans just stripped critical Medicare coverage away from U.S. citizens desperately in need. Hakeem Jeffries was so distraught that he droned on, and on, and on for over eight hours in a last-ditch desperate attempt to stop passing this bill.
One thing is certain; Democrats were beyond desperate to stop the big, beautiful bill. But the real reason has nothing to do with the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. No, millions of people are not going to be stripped of Medicare. No, hospitals all over the country are not about to close overnight. So why are they so excited? Why are they so distraught? The answer is that they just lost their last best change to stop the Trump agenda. Their plan was to get Republicans to self-destruct and pass nothing. The results of that would have been truly catastrophic, and Democrats were ready, willing, and able to blame everything on Republicans.
Take the debt ceiling for example. Trump wanted it gone for the simple reason that he knew Democrats would use it to block his entire agenda. This is straight out of the Democrat playbook. Everyone knows that failure to extend the debt ceiling would result in the U.S. defaulting on its debt. Everyone agrees that would be catastrophic. The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats would be more than willing to let that happen if they can blame Republicans. On numerous occasions Democrats have held the country hostage because they knew Republicans would always cave. Part of the reason for this, is that Democrats know the MSM will ALWAYS blame Republicans, without regard to the facts. Republicans, on the other hand, have always caved and given in to ridiculous Democrat demands. But this bill ended the debt ceiling crisis and makes it much more difficult for Democrats to hold the entire American economy hostage.
Anyone remotely familiar with Medicare knows that it is a recipe for fraud. That is particularly true when Democrats willingly give benefits to illegal aliens. Democrats routinely conflate anyone here, dumb enough to vote for Democrats, with people here legally. They demand due process for people who never bothered with due process when crossing our border. It didn’t help that Biden just opened the border and waived everyone in.
The reality is that Democrats did this because they “needed” illegal aliens to vote if they hope to win future elections. This is why blue states are notorious for not embracing voter ID. 1.5 million fewer people voted for Republicans in 2024, but 13.2 million fewer Democrats voted in 2024. Trust me, if Democrats could bring forward examples of people who were eligible to vote who were disenfranchised by fewer mail-in ballots, the MSM would be all over that. Where are these 13.2 million missing voters? No one knows, perhaps because it is far from certain they ever existed in the first places.
Democrats predicted runaway inflation because of the Trump tariffs. Didn’t happen. They predicted a recession. Didn’t happen. A major problem for Democrats is that their predictions that the Sky is falling aren’t working anymore. They scared people regarding COVID 19. They scared people regarding climate change. None of their predictions turned out to be accurate. The American people may not know who is telling the truth, but they sure know who has been lying.
Democrats have been screaming that this will cut Medicare. That is a lie. This bill does not even touch Medicare. It does include expanded work, education, or training requirements of 80 hours per month for able adults who aren’t caregivers of small children to continue getting food stamps under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or insurance coverage under Medicaid. These changes are not likely to be implemented before the end of 2026. Normal operations will continue, with no disruptions to public health or essential services expected.
When Trump entered office in 2017, the richest 1% of tax filers paid more than 40% of all income taxes collected. After these tax cuts, the richest 1% of tax filers paid more than 46% of total income tax. The following article published by the New York Post in February 2024, explains how this works:
Data prove it: The Trump tax cuts soaked the rich
When Reagan took office the top tax rate was 70%. The wealthiest 1% of tax filers paid about 19% of the income tax. This is why so many billionaires are fund raisers for Democrats. It is why Hollywood Celebrities are liberal Democrats. They know for whom the income tax tolls, and if you are really rich, it never tolls for you.
Democrats and the liberal left MSM are lying to you, again. And they will be exposed, again. The Sky is not falling. Gloom, despair and agony on me, are still words in a song, not an accurate description of reality.
In the meantime, all Republicans need do to run the table in the 2026 midterm elections is to point out to people how much they would be paying in taxes if this bill had not passed. This makes me wonder, again, if Democrats are really this stupid, or do they just hope and pray the American people are this stupid?
