Ben Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson 以为能为特朗普送上灾难性预算案,却遭 Elon Musk 背叛。Elon Musk 不喜欢 Mike Johnson,不再接电话,并威胁对支持该法案的共和党议员发起挑战。该预算案会剥夺数百万美国人的医疗保健,给富人减税,夺走低收入人群的食物,甚至剥夺妇女的生育权。Elon Musk 实际上希望预算案更加残酷,但 Mike Johnson 没有满足他,因此 Elon Musk 强烈反对该法案,并在评论区批评。连 Steve Bannon 也反对该预算案,认为要减少债务必须向富人征税。 Mike Johnson: 我昨天给 Elon 打了电话,但他没接,希望今天能和他谈谈。我认为 Elon 理解这件事的严重性,并且之前也承认过我们不能在这件事上胡闹。这项法案对美国经济至关重要,将为美国经济注入活力。如果失败,年底将迎来美国历史上最大的增税。我认为 Elon Musk 完全错了,我在公开和私下都这么说过。我不担心这件事对中期选举的影响,因为当这个伟大的法案完成并签署成为法律后,每个美国人都会过得更好。这项法案是为中产阶级和工人阶级美国人设计的,他们会感受到它的影响,并且会在中期选举前感受到。特朗普对 Elon 的转变并不高兴,但我期待再次和我的朋友谈谈这件事,我对此并不生气。 Steve Bannon: 如果你想阻止债务炸弹,就必须提高税收。富人不能延长减税政策,这些钱必须给中产阶级和工人阶级,必须使其永久化。最高税率应该回到 39.5% 甚至 40%。 Rand Paul: 我一直反对赤字支出。 Ralph Norman: 你基本上是在让这个国家背负不可持续的债务。 John Kennedy: 我认为他相信我的判断,我们正迅速成为债务奴隶,国会需要重新获得否决的神奇力量,我同意这一点。 James Comer: Elon Musk 的言论没有帮助,但我认为这不会产生很大的影响。我们专注于推进特朗普总统的议程,我相信有足够的参议员会通过这项法案。 议员 Garcia: 如果没有社会保障,2200 万人将被推入贫困。我们需要追究共和党人攻击医疗保险、医疗补助和社会保障的责任。 Jessica Tarloff: Steve Bannon 也和 Elon Musk 一样反对该预算案,他认为必须提高税收。这项法案将使赤字增加至少 2.4 万亿美元,削减 1600 万医疗补助,并威胁到医疗保险。共和党人更希望我们谈论 Elon Musk,而不是预算案本身。最终的 CBO 评分显示,赤字将增加 2.4 万亿美元,减税 3.7 万亿美元,总共有 1600 万人将失去医疗保险。 Dan Bongino: 我们当然要关注 COVID 的起源,政府故意对美国人民撒谎。 议员 Crane: 我们希望 Elon Musk 早点告诉我们他不喜欢这项法案。 Ro Khanna: 向富人征税,向我的选民征税更多,他们不会有感觉的。如果他们觉得不舒服,就去其他国家。我们应该关注的是免费医疗、免费教育和可负担的住房。
