Senate Republicans Propose Gutting Medicaid Further To Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent

Trump is failing. Now he wants to take out Iran’s regime, but has no plan as to what would provide security in the aftermath. The GOP talking points are about peace and ending war, yet war thrives these days. And he’s damaged most of our diplomatic and intelligence relations with our traditional partners.

While the child may be citizen, if both parents do not have SS#, then they are not eligible for child care credit. It’s all about citizenship of parents vs the child citizenship for eligibility.

Thats how I read it. I could be wrong.

So, any updates on the other draconian cuts? e.g., destruction of the US science R&D infrastructure by imposing 40% cuts on NASA, NOAA, USGS science programs? crippling of US medical R&D with major cuts to NIH/CDC/…? when do Democrats gets to challenge some of the crazy riders, like enabling Trump Admin to ignore Judges?

The Senate Finance Committee is proposing a smaller increase in the Child Tax Credit. Senate Republicans are planning on increasing it to $2,200 per child rather than the House’s proposal of $2,500 per child.

And yet…they want to pay women $5000 to have a child.

Shit. We are being governed by people with the memory of goldfish.

If anyone here does their own taxes and wonders why the forms and instructions are so complex … well, here it is. Republicans. It’s also a great way to prevent anyone who doesn’t have a stable full of corporate tax accountants from benefititing.

Oh, and in cynical conclusion:

" Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) declared on Monday afternoon that he “will not vote for this.”

Sure he will.

Simple. It just doesn’t have an automatic “sunset” date built in. Any subsequent Congress (or even the current one) can repeal it at any time. Nothing is actually “permanent” in the traditional sense.

MAGA: Make America Garbage Again. Damn. This stuff will crush so many families in red states who are barely hanging on. Imagine favoring such cruelty against one’s own constituents. I guess they believe their propaganda machine will help them sell the blame onto the usual suspects: Libs, Dems, immigrants, and LGBTQ people.

Remember, tRump told those people they wouldn’t have to vote anymore. So he doesn’t need them anymore.

The uberwealthy are setup to pull away - not so much because they get significantly wealthier, but because the rest of us get so much poorer.

Putin’s Cock-holster successfully maintained his 1.000 batting average for 0 Days Without Being A (Inter)National Embarrassment during his truncated visit to Canada.

It could’ve been better though. Unfortunately British Prime Minister Keir Starmer screwed that up by picking up the papers dropped by Super Athlete Cadet Bone Spurs. I would’ve paid $100 to see him do it himself.
