Trump and Republicans in Congress will do their part to damage the American economy, at a moment of fear and instability.
In the broadest terms, their Big Bad Budget bill is an enormous upward transfer of wealth
— perhaps the largest in history
— taking from those with lower incomes and giving to the rich.
And in its details there are dozens if not hundreds of blows to the economy.

Thousands of days of civilians ... have produced a ... feeling for the
aesthetic modules --
House Republicans who voted to pass Donald Trump’s tax bill last week
💥know it’s going to slash the federal Medicaid program by $1 trillion
🔥and kick millions of people off of their health care.
But that sounds bad.
And people already hate this law.
So instead of saying that,
Republicans are trying out a new way of talking about the bill they all voted for:
👉They just pretend they voted to increase Medicaid spending!
Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.
