Copying my comment from the Senate vote thread:
For those who care, ICE just had its budget increased from 9 billion to 130 billion dollars.
ICE now has a budget higher than the USMC (the marines). Then the NIH. Then NASA. Combined. And then doubled.
Their budget now equals that of the entire Russian military. The third largest military on the planet.
The gestapo just became an actual military.
And, no, it does not drop taxes on tips or overtime. It does include the cuts to healthcare and social nets, as well as trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy, while raising the debt by trillions.
- erxam 1y agoHow fun. The worst part is how many people are wholeheartedly clapping and cheering about this entire deal. AmeriKKKa is a sick place populated by bloodthirsty monsters. I wouldn't even care that much if they weren't the number one exports destination down here. The ripple effects are going to be massive.

- Tadpole9181 1y agoDeleted my prior response because I was being too snarky. Worth noting a couple of corrections: NASA had a 25% cut to 20B. NIH had a 40% cut to 25B.
