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? https://equitablegrowth.org/congressional-republicans-budget-bill-is-the-most-regressive-in-at-least-40-years/ https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/distributional-effects-selected-provisions-house-reconciliation-bill-preliminaryc

why, like how did this idea ever happen ? because if you give all the money, 100% to poor people they will spend it and the people who own businesses end up with it like zero rube goldberg designs or whatever you give them money they spend the money it goes to the community done. who convinced everybody that top down was the way and howwwww
