Republicans are racing to pass their tax scam bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs, but they’re still fighting internally about the content of the bill: some are hesitant about making such big cuts to Medicaid, some want even deeper cuts. And that’s left Republican leaders Johnson and Thune scrambling to balance the demands from all the different sides of their caucus.
So the more drawn out and painful that Democrats can make the fight, the less likely they’ll be able to actually pass a bill. And Democrats will have the opportunity to do so, including during vote-a-rama when they can introduce endless amendments to postpone the Senate vote on passage of the bill.
I would like to propose some amendments you could introduce below: An amendment to transfer all the dollars for ICE funding to NPR and PBS, instead.
An amendment to tax recipients of luxury jets gifted by foreign governments at 100% of the jet's market value.
An amendment to cut every lawmaker’s salary and per diem by the same percentage SNAP gets cut.
Thank you for your time and attention in regards to the important matter of preserving our democracy.
