Cline celebrates passage of big ugly bill

In a Facebook post this morning, Congressman Cline tried to justify his support for Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which passed the House of Representatives by one vote, with all Democrats voting NO.

Cline does his best to obfuscate the simple fact that the bill pays for a $1.1 trillion tax cut for the top one percent of earners by cutting Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act by more than $800 billion and SNAP by $300 billion. (Cline’s claim that the bill will “strengthen Medicaid” is a bad joke.)

In other words, the bill would make millions of people sicker and hungrier to help the rich buy more private planes and yachts.

And even with that, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill with increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade.

Cline likes to denounce “deficit loving D.C. Democrats.” What (if anything) will he say now?
