"This Is A Sad Day For America" — MAGA Supporters Have A LOT To Say About Trump's "Big, Beautiful" Tax Bill, And It's Not What I Was Expecting

Donald Trump's self-described "big, beautiful" taxation measure has officially passed the House of Representatives and is present headed to the Senate.

The authorities extends taxation cuts that chiefly payment the highest earners, increases backing for the subject and migration enforcement, eliminates taxes connected tips and overtime, reduces backing for Medicaid and nutrient stamps, and ends taxation incentives for cleanable energy.

The measure squeaked done by a azygous ballot (215 to 214). All Democrats opposed it, joined by conscionable 2 Republicans: Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

To my surprise, Massie was not the lone blimpish speaking retired astir the bill. In the hours pursuing the vote, a question of blimpish voices took to social media to explicit their thoughts — and they're not excessively thrilled, either. Here's what they had to say:

1. "Where's the spending cuts we were promised?"

—Vag-etarian

2. "So adding to the indebtedness is bully present that we're successful power?"

—Blown89

4. "Great. I similar however they're conscionable avoiding that it doesn't equilibrium the budget. What are we adjacent doing astatine this constituent with that? Just spending ourselves into oblivion? Fine. I'll accidental the unpopular happening — if that's wherever we're going, I mightiness arsenic good ballot Democrat truthful it happens faster. I'm truthful incredibly discouraged astatine this point."

"It's large that we're getting a batch of this civilization warfare stuff; I'm large connected that, too, but if we don't get the shortage nether power fast, each the remainder of that won't substance successful comparatively abbreviated order. I request to commencement teaching my kids however to workplace their ain nutrient astatine this complaint due to the fact that the slump that is starting to look progressively inevitable with our fiscal behaviour volition marque what happened successful the 1930s look similar the roar successful the '50s."

5. "I deliberation Trump could bash it, if anyone had the momentum and power to drastically little the shortage implicit time, I deliberation it's this administration. Disappointed that isn't the case. The affluent proceed to get richer, that wealth exists retired there, and it's not 'trickling down' anymore."

"We can't hole our country's problems by taxing Elon Musk much alone, but I consciousness similar a alteration needs to hap successful however we attack extravagant wealth. But mediocre radical from West Virginia don't triumph elections; the affluent do. I'm truthful jaded. Come on, Trump and co., you tin bash this!"

—Simmumah

10. "If we conscionable agreed that Republicans attraction thing for fiscal work successful 2025, this measure would beryllium easier to swallow. Yeah, a mates nuggets of bully for the moving class, but by and large, the lone happening it truly accomplishes is expanding the shortage and spending crossed the board."
