The “big, beautiful bill,” which is being rushed through the senate this week, is little more than a scheme to double and triple the debt bondage already faced by millions of “Americans” who lack an adequate healthcare system in the wealthiest nation in history.
For its $167 billion more to the deportation machine, it’s also the Indian Removal Act, Fugitive Slave Act, Chinese Exclusion Act, and Operation Wetback combined to make permanent the New Reich agenda; should it pass, I see no reason not to expect New Nuremberg laws before the end of 2030.
Last but certainly not least, the bill’s tax cuts for billionaires and centi-millionaires–who already pay little to no income tax–would only increase the debt on the next generation by at least $3 trillion over the next ten years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
It is no future for America, but a death knell for the few safety net programs which give our most vulnerable people here a modicum of support to survive; it is also, like ICE agents in unmarked cars through Los Angeles, a cowardly disguised proclamation of Manifest Destiny for the 21st century.
It’s obviously thus imperative for every single Senator with a conscience to do everything in their power to kill this offensive and appalling excuse for a bill. But don’t expect them to do so without hearing from every last one of us who can call upon them.
Let the city know.
History is watching!
