Big Beautiful Bill is just the same slop
Were there cuts to Medicaid in the first Trump tax cuts?
Yes, there were cuts to Medicaid in the tax cuts from 2017-2018. The 2017 bill included substantial cuts to Medicaid, amounting to $600 billion over the next decade. These cuts were part of a broader budget plan that also reduced spending on other safety-net programs, such as food stamps and anti-poverty programs. Funding for education was also cut by $2.6 billion after an initial request of $9.2 billion from the education budget. The cuts were part of a strategy to balance the cut from the budget while maintaining tax cuts for the wealthy.
This year, the BBB is a remake of the bill put forth by the 115th Congress of the United States of America. The original tax bill in 2017 was slop produced by the ignorance of the 115th Congress and the president at the time. Slop is 92% water and 8% protein. The protein went to the rich and the water went to the rest of the economy.
In 2025, the media knew this as well as the whole Republican Party. They didn’t even repackage the bill. So, you can thank the 119th Congress for the slop America received in the BBB.
Like COVID, which robbed the dignity of every American who lost a loved one to a terrible disease while the president at that time lied and lied, about the light at the end of the tunnel. America drove him out once. The law of the land would have lynched him 150 years ago. We only have one option. It is called impeachment. Write your representatives.
This article is about repeating a political mistake in consecutive decades. When asked if I am better off now that I was in 2017? About the same. My life is based on faith. Blessings.

This is unregulated capitalism run amok
Breaking news: Reports have recently surfaced of serious abuses of detainees in ICE custody.
Such reports beg the question of the morality of the now common government practice of outsourcing law enforcement functions to for-profit corporations. Government-run prison systems are created by legislative bodies made up of actual human beings with personal values and judgment and then administered by public servants accountable for their actions to their fellow citizens. Corporations like GEO and CoreCivic that operate private prisons are driven mainly by the profit motives of their managers and shareholders, notwithstanding PR-style corporate credos protesting their good corporate citizenship.
Increasingly, in blatant attempts to evade individual responsibility or misdeeds, the entire decision-making process can now be replaced by an algorithm hidden in some computer code based mainly on choosing the course of action most likely to return the greatest profit. All other factors that ordinarily play a role in human decision making, such as truth, legality or morality, are deemed minor or even irrelevant in this process.
When government agencies delegate such core activities as immigration or law enforcement to entities concerned chiefly with maximizing profits, we are living in a corporatist state, not a representative democracy answerable to the people. This is unregulated capitalism run amok, blindly expecting market forces to always yield the optimum outcome. The promise of increased efficiency achievable by running government like a business instead results in even more injustice, human suffering, and gross disparities in income, as our current regime absolves themselves from all responsibility for their decisions. Authority without responsibility equals tyranny.
