“The good part is the tax cuts. Making Trump’s cuts permanent helps working people and small businesses. Cutting taxes on tips and overtime is a real win for hourly workers. Raising the SALT cap [state and local tax] helps families in high-tax states. There are also solid efforts to boost domestic manufacturing through incentives and trade pressure, which could bring jobs back home if handled right.
“We have the Palantir surveillance system. No American should support AI tracking citizens, profiling behavior, and creating databases that can label people based on protest activity or predicted opinions. This is looking like China or the EU. It’s everything we said we opposed during the COVID overreach. No, thank you. I still oppose it.
Finally, the morally broken part is the way it slashes Medicaid WITHOUT fixing fraud or cutting real waste first. When will someone expose the fraud? Get to the truth instead. EXPAND Medicaid for Americans. We should never target rural hospitals, people who need mental health support, and the working class. (Meanwhile, we are STILL sending billions overseas and funding defense contracts.) I am for expanding Medicaid for ALL Americans. There is no way that we will do better if we make cuts in this area. Yes, I actually DO want my tax dollars to go to this. That is exactly what I want.
As it stands, it’s a mixed bill with SOME good policy and a lot of dangerous garbage.
The surveillance programs and cuts to the vulnerable.
Leave them in, and it’s a sellout to corporate elites at the expense of the American people.”
Editor’s note: Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas rewrote the provision on regulating AI from 10 years down to 5 years; however, States will lose access to a $500 million sum of federal funding for using AI within these terms.
