The "Big, Beautiful Bill" (NOT) Is MUCH Worse Than We Thought

Read this and weep.  Then call and email your senators, yesterday!  And the senators of other states as well.  It's still not too late to stop this from becoming the new law of the land, but that window is closing very, very fast!

Here is an example of a letter and talking points:

Dear Senator, 

The "Big, Beautiful Bill" touted by President Trump and MAGA is MUCH worse than we thought. The fact that it cuts Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs to essentially rob from the poor and give to the ultra-rich is already bad enough. But buried deep in the bill is some even scarier stuff that allows Trump to cancel elections at will, ignore Supreme Court rulings for a year or more, criminalize protests, fire government workers for "disloyalty", invade everyone's privacy, and essentially assume arbitrary dictatorial powers. This bill cannot be allowed to pass. I have faith that you will vote a HARD NO on this abomination of a bill, and hope that you will convince other Senators on both sides of the aisle to reject it as well.

Thank you very much,

Your Name

JUNE UPDATE:  Apparently Musk hates this bill so much, it caused him to have a falling out with Trump.  The Bromance is effectively over now, and MAGA is becoming a circular firing squad.  Get your popcorn, this will get interesting....

Eliminate Income Taxes Without Debt Or Inflation? Easy-Peasy.

The ever-insightful Ellen Brown has an excellent article about how to eliminate the income tax (at least on the non-rich) without exploding debt and inflation, and without cutting any services.  But unlike Trump's plan which will replace the lost revenue with questionable tariffs like McKinley did, she proposes something like Abraham Lincoln did instead.  That is, just print the money via the Treasury, no FERAL Reserve needed.  That's similar to what Dr. Joseph M. Firestone calls "Overton Congressional Financing" and what Rodger Malcolm Mitchell calls "Monetary Sovereignty".  It is an idea that is LONG overdue!

Not only could we eliminate the debt and non-rich income tax, but we could also finance so many things like fixing and upgrading our crumbling and outdated infrastructure, world-class education for all, state of the art technology, single-payer Medicare For All, and Universal Basic Income.

What better time than now?
