The Billionaire’s Bullshit Bill just barely passed the Senate, thanks to a tiebreaker from Beelzebubba (JD Vance). It heads to the House now, and keep reading, because there’s some stuff about the bill that no one’s talking about, and they should be.

Lone Skum (Elon Musk) was busy yesterday, and seems that he’s had a change of heart, because suddenly he cares about our government, after sending in his goons to destroy it during the first few months of this year, and honestly, I don’t know if we should believe him. He tends to say one thing one day and then walk it back, but he was in a Mood yesterday. Check out some of his X posts.

“It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country—the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.” Shhh. Be vewy vewy qwiet. Hunting poors.

Then later: “How can you call yourself the Freedom Caucus if you vote for a DEBT SLAVERY bill with the biggest debt ceiling increase in history?” He tagged Reps. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Chip Roy (R-TX).

Rep. Harris posted on X that “The left cries ‘cuts’ any time we target waste, fraud, and abuse. FACT: Republicans are NOT cutting Medicaid. We’re working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse—so the program can continue to serve those who truly need it.”

Hm. But he knows full well that passing the Billionaire’s Bullshit Bill will trigger an automatic cut to Medicare—some $535 billion per the Congressional Budget Office—because of a law that triggers said cuts if they blow such a huge hole in the federal deficit. The PAYGO Act of 2010 (the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act) ensures that these cuts, to happen over a decade, are a consequence of the reconciliation bill impacting the deficit. The cuts are based on an increase of $2.3 trillion in the deficit over ten years. Check out kff dot org for a good breakdown and explanation.
