  • I'll go there -- Big Beautiful Bill, who does it really benefit?

    From Sam Alexander@VERT/BLUEBOX to All on Sunday, July 06, 2025 23:21:19
    I've read a dozen or more articles about this thing, and not a single one shows how it helps most Americans. What I do see are tax credits many use going away, impacts to medicare and medicaid that'll cause many to loose it, and trillions added to the nationan deficit. So many republicans voted contrary to what they campaigned about like not affecting medicare/medicaid. Just not seeing how this helps anyone other than those who are the most vulnerable. Thoughts?

    When you say "articles about this thing", do you mean articles talking about it, or have you seen anything just explaining the bill itself? I had a look recently, and I think a couple things stuck out. For one thing, it sounds like they're trying to reduce abuse of the medicaid system by increasing standards (i.e., if you're able to work, they want you to work). Also, there are tax cuts and an increase in the maximum standard deduction, which would mean more money back to you for most people.
