Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

2, And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals? A. They are tying to give the illusion that they want to help their small town voters, who were most affected by closed hospitals due to underfunding.

The 50 billion stabilization fund is so the Republicans Fuhrer can pick and choose who gets help. That’s how he is setting everything up, even FEMA dictator Donald will get to decide who gets help. He’s consolidating power so he controls EVERYTHING. Like tariffs, but many countries gave him 🖕🏼

Don’t forget the tax cuts that benefit top earners and estate holders are permanent, while the temporary perks (like deductions for tips, overtime, seniors, and car loans) that may help the working and middle class expire by 2028 or 2030.
jul 10, 2025, 3:47 am • 6 1 • view
Why? Because sunsetting tax breaks for the middle class makes the overall bill look less expensive in budget forecasts AND the expiration can be used to run future campaigns with promises to renew the cuts but blame someone else when it doesn’t happen. Same💩 was pulled in 2017 with the TCJA.

There's nothing about waste, fraud and abuse in the bill. There isn't one segment of the bill that specifically points to some element of a program and how changes are being effectuated in order to attack waste, fraud or abuse. There are things done where programs shrink.

Those instances are brought about through making the enrollment process more difficult, resulting in some past enrollees being unable to complete the forms and losing their Healthcare. or reductions in Medicaid payments to hospitals are simply cuts/reductions in payments. Not meant to combat fraud.

And the adding of work requirements is largely an exercise in making the SNAP & Medicaid programs look more forceful or stringent on paper, since the overwhelming majority of recipients in both programs are already employed. Not waste, fraud or abuse.

And the tax cuts ... significant cuts for the highest income earners, with decreasing %s of cuts as the income level drops.
