So the Republican Party is well under way in passing a budget to extend the tax cuts to the rich enacted in Trump's first term. And in fact adding more tax cuts for the rich and cutting funding to the IRS just in case some rich folk still don't have enough and want to cheat on their returns. And how is this to be paid for? For the most part it's not, but Republicans are trying by severely cutting Medicaid. Everybody knows the poor don't need health care, only the rich do. But don't the Republicans taut themselves as devout Christians and didn't Christ preach helping the poor? Oh, wait, I forgot the Republicans belong to that sect of Christianity that worship wealth, not Christ.
And the debt rating of the US has been lowered because of all this, so the tax cuts will cost even more, but doesn't matter as long as the rich get their tax cuts.
