Trump's Controversial Budget Bill Passes Despite Widespread Disapproval

The budget reconciliation bill passed by the US House of Representatives and signed into law by Donald Trump is widely considered devastating for many Americans, despite being unpopular and facing opposition. The bill adds $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. Some Republicans expressed concerns but ultimately supported it. The bill includes massive cuts to Medicaid, Snap, federal loans for college students, and investments in green energy. It will lead to millions losing health coverage, hunger, and other negative impacts.

The legislation benefits billionaires and expands the budget of ICE. It will result in the closure of healthcare facilities, longer wait times, and more expensive care. The bill is criticized for favoring the wealthy while harming the vulnerable. Republicans' support for the bill raises questions about their priorities and loyalty to Trump.

Democrats opposed the bill, highlighting its cruelty and recklessness. The bill's negative effects are expected to become more apparent over time, potentially impacting the upcoming midterms. However, the long-term consequences for the Republican party remain uncertain.
