Another Chapter in the Never Ending Story
Okay Swifties let's talk politics. I know I know it's not exactly 'Love Story,' but bear with me. Apparently the House Republicans are having a *moment* trying to pass Donald Trump's tax bill. It's like they're stuck in a never ending drama and honestly I'm starting to feel like I need a 'Blank Space' to write all this down. Speaker Mike Johnson bless his heart is trying to meet this self imposed Memorial Day deadline but the House Freedom Caucus is all 'Hold up we need to talk.' Cue the dramatic music.
Freedom Caucus Feeling 'Fearless'
So Andy Harris and Chip Roy from the Freedom Caucus are basically saying 'Not today Satan!' They're not feeling this tax bill and they've got enough votes to make things super awkward for everyone. Roy even said they're going to the White House for a last minute chat with Trump. It's like a reality show but with higher stakes and way more spreadsheets. I wonder if they'll break into song mid meeting? (Probably not but a girl can dream!)
Trump's 'Style': Confidence and a Little Bit of Chaos
Of course Trump is all confidence telling reporters he feels 'very well' about the bill. Classic Trump! It's giving me major 'Style' vibes – bold a little chaotic but always making a statement. Meanwhile Johnson is just hoping they can 'force the bill through.' Force? Really? Sounds like someone needs to listen to 'You Need to Calm Down.' Just saying!
Rules Rules and More Rules (Sounds Like My Album Release)
Before this whole thing can even get to a vote the House Rules Committee has to like *agree* on the rules for debating the bill. It's rules all the way down! Honestly it's giving me flashbacks to trying to navigate the music industry. So many rules so little time. But hey at least this isn't about who owns my masters right?
The 'Delicate' Details: Who Benefits?
Here's the kicker: the Congressional Budget Office says this bill might actually hurt the lowest income households while benefiting the wealthiest. Sounds a bit 'Delicate,' doesn't it? I mean shouldn't we be helping everyone not just the top 10%? As someone who's always been a voice for the underdog I'm just saying this needs some serious rethinking.
Warning! A Medicaid 'Red' Alert!
And then there's Trump's warning to Republicans not to 'f around with Medicaid.' Okay that's a *strong* statement. Medicaid is a lifeline for so many low income families and cutting it would be well a 'Red' situation. Let's hope they listen and do what's right. Because honestly if they don't I might have to write a diss track. Just kidding… unless?
