It’s maddening, because everyone who’s paying attention knows that this is going to destroy the economy; the Rs are figuring on getting voted out in 2018, sticking a Democratic-majority government with the unpopular task of trying to clean up the incredible mess caused by this grenade tossed under all of our social structures, and then letting Fox News whip voters into a frenzy just in time for them to get control back and wreck any recovery again. It’s all just a way to keep extracting money for their donors, who own them entirely by this point.The most telling thing is that if you try to tell someone who’s not already opposed to the current administration what’s in this bill, they don’t believe you and assume you’re a frothing-at-the-mouth liberal, because this bill is so bad it’s literally unbelievable.There are tax breaks that only apply to Betsy DeVos personally. There’s a tax break for your private jet.And now if your employer gives you a $5 giftcard for being Employee of the Month, you *have* to report that as taxable income.Oh and they’ve repealed the individual mandate, collapsing the health insurance market.*AND* there’s a provision specifying fetal personhood, so abortion will become illegal the first time a case comes before a conservative judge– which they’ve stacked the courts with, so. Welcome to our new dystopian nightmare, where it really doesn’t matter how you vote…. This is why I don’t usually come over to Facebook. I have nothing to say that isn’t shit like this. And either you already know, or you can’t be told, because see above, it’s not possible to believe this if you haven’t been following along the whole time.
[I started to post this on my Facebook, then changed my mind because I Can’t Deal. I do think I’ve mostly been unfriended by anyone who doesn’t already know this shit, but I still don’t want to risk it.]
