Thank you for putting this all together. It helps break down all the important pieces that the Republicans didn't even bother to read. I will be sharing this information far and wide.

This Bill! There is no other word for it. Offensive and damaging... It mustn't be let through. End of.

I have shared this brilliant posting on Quora. I have only used my first name, on that site, for some time now, as I have concerns that I would have an issue, as I am a legal Canadian resident. I still post on Facebook, and I am extremely outspoken on all that is transpiring in this country, and the world, concerning our horrific government, but because your posting is so powerful and because of Zuckerberg's connections with trump, I have to be a little careful. Everyone, who has no concerns, definitely needs to call the Senators to stop this Big Ugly Bill!

Mr. Rashid, thank you for such thorough analysis, graphic charts included to describe each major area of cuts, and for providing the names and DC office phone # for key Republican senators to call. Just called all of their offices this morning, and left messages asking them to vote "No".

The Republicans are unabashedly voting for their special interests. Somewhere, buried in that bill, there's a gift to every special interest that supports the MAGATs.

Here's just one example: If $52B is going into building for-profit prisons; three guesses who'll be selected to populate those new jails. And in this way, slavery of a kind can be restored by putting those new prisoners to work at the low paying jobs most people won't take.

I wish every Republican would look at this and maybe grow some semblance of a spine.

This is NOT a "BIG beautiful bill"! This is a travesty for the American people. I am disgusted & feel helpless to help. I certainly appreciate your informative presentation - too bad the house, Senate & WE THE PEOPLE did not have this months ago.

Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort to make the Big Bad Bill clear to most people. It is so important that people understand. Even MTG, who stupidly voted without reading, saw how serious it was, when she finally did, and she is a card carrying member of The Cult of the Fapweasel (Trump)!

These graphics should make if very clear what is happening if this obnoxious bill is passed. As to the 26% or so percentage of people who work but still get Medicaid, you could have diabetes, which is a chronic condition and requires insulin in many cases, as well as several other medications to control it, not to mention the diet and glucose monitoring. Diabetes is an expensive disease between the testing supplies the medications, and the doctor visits. That assumes you stick with the diet, too. You can work at most jobs if you have diabetes, but you might not necessarily be able to afford to pay for all the things to take care of the diabetes effectively that you need Medicaid. Private insurance that would cover the diabetes might be unaffordable. I know about diabetes because a good friend of mine had it. Fortunately, for him, he had a very good job and insurance that covered his diabetes. He did insist on using an out of network endocrinologist, though, but because he had a good job, it was affordable.

Diabetes is just one of the conditions where a person might need to be on Medicaid while still holding down a job. There are other chronic conditions that fall in this category. Diabetes is probably one of most common ones, and most people have some idea of what it is.

It is going to take considerable time to build our factories back up. Are there even people who know how to make clothing with a sewing machine, for example? No doubt if you were out of work for more than six months and were over 50, the prospective employer would want to know where your were all that time.

Yes. They’re called SWEAT-SHOP IMMIGRANT LABOUR. And they’re GLOBALLY EXPLOITED by ZioNaziWEALTH $$upremacists

There are still sweat shops, but they are in third world countries, so people in the US and other developed countries countries don’t easily see them.

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to go back to work after having a baby because the cost of daycare and other expenses eat up too much of your earnings.

This is a very informative post, and I will share with others especially those who admit that they blindly vote Rebublican without knowing what the candidates stand for, how they vote. What is also helpful is the information you shared about how we as a society can voice our opinions, concerns, etc. Keep up the fine wor that you do! You are incredible! Thanks!
