All right, let's keep digging into taxes. Donald Trump's new tax plan has now been exposed. It's been looked at, and it is a working class destroyer. Remember that the House of Representatives narrowly passed this budget resolution setting the stage for what could be one of the most consequential fiscal battles in recent memory. And what's at the heart of this plan is a 4.5 trillion dollar tax cut combined with 2 trillion dollars in federal spending reductions over the next decade. And of course, Republicans are saying this is a victory. It's a victory for Trump, it's a victory for the America first agenda. If you actually look at the plan, which is what everybody should do and everybody should understand it, evaluate your support or opposition to the plan based on what it says. If you take a closer look, you find a plan that big surprise, disproportionately benefits the wealthy.

And it leaves the middle class to really bear the brunt of the fallout. Because the cuts are coming from programs that help the lower and middle class. Medicaid cuts, which we now know must be part of it if they will achieve the 880 billion reduction there. Food stamps. I'm sorry, a million reduction. Food stamp cuts, education funding cuts. And so Republicans are saying, we got it past the House. This is a victory. It's a victory for Trump. When you really look closely, you find that the Medicaid cuts might force states to scale back coverage, which means fewer people will have insurance. Cuts to food assistance programs like food stamps could push families to food insecurity, something that a country as wealthy as the United States just should not have. A single person with food insecurity. It's not a money issue, it's a political will issue.

And then with education funding on the chopping block, you could find public schools facing even more challenges, which will hurt your child's education, which will damage their chances at ultimately finding sustainable employment at the end of the rainbow that increasingly doesn't exist. And now Republicans are pretending that this is just no big deal. Maga Mike Johnson, speaker of the House, says that the budget resolution doesn't even mention Medicaid, but the numbers are the numbers. And to get that $880 billion, it is billion. Before, I was confused. To get the $880 billion in health related savings, Medicaid and or other health programs are inevitably going to have to be cut. Now, hilariously or tragically, depending on your point of view, this is not going to do much when it comes to dealing with the deficit that Trump has been claiming they're going to deal with because even if you grant them that, they will be able to accomplish the full spending cut that they've proposed.

The budget resolution would add nearly $3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade because of the way that the program is structured with the tax cuts that are going to reduce revenue significantly. So if you are a fiscal conservative, if you still exist, you know, Tom Massey claims to be the only real fiscal conservative left in the House of Representatives. He actually was the one Republican to vote against this. He called it out and he said you can't cut taxes without cutting spending at least as much. This program doesn't do that. And this program is going to add to the national debt, to which of course, we say, of course it is. That's what Trump did in his first term and it's certainly what he plans to do in his second term. Tariffs, tax cuts for the wealthy, tax cuts for corporations. Everything that he's doing is going to add to the deficit and increase the national debt at an even faster rate.

There's one guy on the Republican side willing to call it out right now. His name's Tom Massey. Where will this go? We have to see what's going to come out of the Senate. We have to see whether Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats, I'm sorry, whether Senate Republicans and House Republicans, Democrats have a very small role to play here other than calling out what this is for what it is. And I hope that they do that. We will see what they ultimately agree upon. But it is looking shockingly or not, depending on your perspective as another middle class killer.
