The eu does not want the dollar to fall , bond traders hate this new beautiful bill , billions of cuts to medicaid ,rural hospitals closing , more unemployment , this bill does nothing for middle class workers ,it increases debt by about 3.5 trillion . It gives tax cuts to the top 10 per cent .it will cause interest rates to rise of you live in a rural area you may have health insurance but your local hospitals will close .it s an insult to old or retired veterans who depend on Medicare. America is at risk of ever increasing costs as the bond market will be reluctant to pay for American debt . More tax's will go to paying off 40 trillion national debt

If America go,s into recession it effects the whole world economy Trump is proof you may be rich but you have no class or good taste

Republicans say we want people to have more kids as they cut medicare and the services that family's depend on and close down hospitals

Imdb News ..probably the only news outlet that can get away with publishing it now.

In truth and at this point the Republican Party is nothing more than a bunch of sadistic, sycophantic, corrupt wasters and grifters out to enrich themselves and their friends at the expense of the rest of society. It only got this far because of factors like the enshittification of the media sphere along with recommender systems social media to funnel people into echo chambers and to fuel discord so they fight one another and get riled up into taking feelings and beliefs over facts and not focusing on the real corrupt degenerates that have wormed their way into power. You can also add the piss poor education system that failed people in the US as well that has far too many at an extremely substandard level of intelligence.

The other factor of course is Citizens Fúcking United, the most regressive decision by the US supreme court that effectively legalised pay to win politics in the US. Trump of course is an opportunist who jumped on the train for his own benefit and the sooner he shuffles of this mortal coil the better the rest of the world will be for his absence but the danger of course is and always has been the absolute corrupt filth he dragged into power with him expecially the likes of the Heritage Foundation. People like them are absolutely unfit to have any influence or power and their corrupt idelogies ultimately weaken and fracture societies. These will be the people that need to be dealt with long after the Orange Bollocks has checked out of this existence.

There is at least some organised resistance to the Republican's. They put pressure on their local member of Congress to block Trumps bills. Apparently there's millions of them, don't say how many millions,but it's a big country.
