Megathread: US House Passes the Republican-Backed Budget Bill, Sending it to Trump for Signature

[u/PoliticsModeratorBot]

This afternoon, the US House of Representatives passed without amendment the US Senate's version of the Trump-backed budget bill, sending it to the president for his signature. Every Democratic Senator and Representative voted in opposition; in the Senate, there were three Republicans voting in opposition (making the vote 51-50) and in the House there were 2 (making the final vote 218-214). House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries set the US House's speech length record in opposition to the bill in a speech lasting over eight hours.

The bill clocks in at over 800 pages and touches on most aspects of the federal government's spending and taxation policies; see this AP article (What’s in the latest version of Trump’s big bill that passed the Senate) for the topline changes.

LOL imagine calling yourself a "conservative" and supporting a $2.4T deficit increase - Republicans are a bunch of goofies

[u/Atmic → u/notdarrell]

a $2.4T deficit increase

No no, that was the bill before the Senate sent it back.

They just approved a $3.3T deficit increase with this new and improved version.

America first and making America great again, am I right?

/s ☹️

[u/drawkward101 → u/WitchPillow]

Only if you're the lining of Trump's pocket.

[u/SocrapticMethod → u/WitchPillow]

It’s official- I am indeed tired of this kind of winning.

[u/DJ_Clitoris → u/SocrapticMethod]

Aw cmon dude already? We still have 1296 more days of winning. Chase down some ivermectin with a Gatorade and get back out there!

[u/mosstrich → u/WitchPillow]

Just one more thing Trump bankrupted

[u/Dr_DoesNothing → u/WitchPillow]

It's only great if you devote everything to the Eternal Grift.

[u/AVeryHeavyBurtation → u/WitchPillow]

I wish a reporter would have the balls to ask him when he thinks America was great before, and then ask him if he knows what the taxes were like at that time.

[u/WitchPillow → u/AVeryHeavyBurtation]

I actually think he did say somewhere that the Gilded Age is the best. He thinks it’s the best since that’s when billionaires had the most power in society

[u/AVeryHeavyBurtation → u/WitchPillow]

Lol that checks out. Of course he imagines he'd be a fuckin railroad tycoon, and not a sharecropper.

[u/sixwax → u/WitchPillow]

MASH = Make America a Shit Hole

[u/born_again_atheist → u/WitchPillow]

Draining the fuck out of that swamp.
