it's a real conundrum [1]

Got an opportunity to post questions to someone I am told wrote a lot of the “big beautiful Bill” abomination.
it's a real conundrum. I know. We have only one old friend who is so deep down the rabbit hole with her husband that she has an answer for every fact and logical argument we sent her. She has literally had her entire friendship base give up on her and remains unswayed.
These people have got us in the running car in the garage with them And there's just got to be a key to opening that door, what the hell is it?
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg and Peter Theil are allowing disinformation to run rampant and playing chicken with the world economy, Steven Miller and Leonard Leo are tinkering with the brakes, idiot Trump is in the passenger seat with his clueless domestic economic policy and tariffs understandings and we are in the back seat.
Putin's got compromat on Trump, Trump's got Kompromat on the republican politicians probably thanks to Jeff Epstein's honey trap operations. On top of all of that, it looks like they may have stolen the last election.
they're all playing with different decks, so we have to find a way to turn them against each other.
I think the economy is gonna be so bad, especially for Republicans, by next summer they won't be able to steal the next election. And when the Medicare and Social Security sequestrations start cutting in automatically, you won't hear the end of it.
So here's my question for this friend: what proven economic theory supports taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich? Supporters of this bill don't even pretend that supply side economics is going to save us. It's just a Hail Mary. We had the strongest economy in the world before Trump was elected - if it ain't broke, don't fix it right? Ah But it was broken, according to them. Prove it. not as broken as it is now…
Are the nonworking Medicaid recipients really going to replace the meat packers and janitors and farm laborers?
Is 85 FEMA workers on a 60 mile stretch of flooding river the right national response? Good payback for Ted Cruz who voted against hurricane sandy damage I will admit. But the poor people of Texas deserve better.
Or maybe you can appeal to his compassion? Is it morally right to send moderately innocent Tax paying immigrants to prison hellholes in Third World countries without convictions? Immigrants built our country and keep it strong.
Speaking of morals, USAID food and medicine aid to Africa? Is it do onto others? Or God helps them that help themselves…
