Ben Meiselas: 我认为MAGA Mike Johnson因为向特朗普出卖灵魂而过得很糟糕。参议院正在对灾难性的预算案进行重大修改,而众议院的MAGA共和党人似乎表示他们不会支持参议院目前的形式。这项法案的赤字不断增加,最终可能会增加50万亿美元,这简直是灾难性的。 Maria Bartiromo: 我指出,参议院财政委员会公布的特朗普法案包括重大税收改革,甚至比众议院要求的医疗补助削减幅度更大。该法案的其他差异包括增加儿童税收抵免,并将州和地方税收减免的上限降低至1万美元。 Ron Johnson: 我认为我们应该尝试为此买单,而不是继续减税或增税。如果我们不愿意解决支出问题,那么根据OBBB的预测,未来10年将增加24万亿美元的赤字支出。我们一直生活在长期的债务危机中,必须控制它,而不是让它变成一场严重的债务危机。 Harry Enten: 我强调,这项法案的支持率极低,甚至在独立选民中也是如此。这项法案的净支持率非常低,几乎没有人支持它。 Representative Davidson: 我认为即使是最乐观的亲增长税收模型也表明,这项法案会增加赤字。我不愿为了炸毁总统的议程而走得太远。我们只控制一个国会,那就是我们所在的国会,而且它永远不会减少开支。 Brian Schatz: 我认为这项预算案非常不受欢迎,甚至比废除平价医疗法案和上一轮减税还要不受欢迎。人们开始注意到这项法案的可怕政策以及对社区的影响,特别是医疗补助和营养援助的削减,以及限制能源供应和提高美国人电费的企图。他们试图“节省”资金的原因是为了为年收入超过400万美元的人提供巨额减税。我们可以阻止这项法案,因为有些人开始害怕电价上涨,害怕每天获得六美元营养援助的人被削减,而所有这些都是为了让那些非选民获得美国历史上最大的减税。我很乐观,认为我们可以阻止这项法案。我们必须团结一致,阻止这项法案。人们已经受够了特朗普和MAGA,他们只是说“相信我”。人们开始感受到特朗普政策的影响,并意识到这些政策对他们来说很糟糕。特朗普不受欢迎,因为美国的情况正在恶化,我们越少谈论政治战略和策略,越多谈论他对美国社区的影响,情况就会越好。我们将会看到电力短缺。自从我们通过了大型气候法案以来,我们已经拥抱了能源丰富,我们已经接受了我们可以解决地球危机并降低人们价格的想法。他们在这项可怕的法案中所做的事情将会造成短缺。如果我们要满足未来三到八年的能源需求,风能和太阳能是可以直接铺设并插入任何电网的东西,如果我们不这样做,就会出现电子短缺,价格也会上涨。现在,能源丰富和更便宜的能源与拯救地球是一致的,人们需要开始以这种方式思考。
