Looking at the Big Beautiful Bill its hard not to feel disgusted

I can be convinced we need to cut entitlements; we are too low trust of a country and too broke to be generous 

But taking away entitlements and reducing poor peoples income while increasing the deficit and increasing the income of the wealthy? 

What is the pro case for this?
Are we assuming trickle down?

I am looking for any rationale here however stupid because in theory they can’t say “fuck the poors” right 

Like how is this being justified? I am open to hearing

Oh there is no actual justification—but trickle down is usually the go to since Reagan. But we know from data it’s BS. The true justification is just making their donors/PACs happy. Which for those in red states will directly hurt their constituents. It’s pretty nuts. 

And this is why I suddenly find myself supporting Rep Massie and Rand Paul which is utterly bizarre. But here we are.
