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’m tired of people talking about cutting entitlements. They are called that because we are entitled to receive them because we already spent our lives paying for them with every hour we worked. Cut defense. Cut corporate welfare. Make the rich pay their share of taxes. Plenty of places to cut to save the money we are entitled to.
