Something very big is happening this year, and it's part of the structure around which all of this chaos is occurring, Glen.
You have to interpret all of this through a very important deadline, because why is Elon Musk raiding the treasury? Why are they freezing federal funding?
Follow the money.
In 2017, Trump and the Republican Party forced through one of the largest tax giveaways to the rich in modern American history.
We're talking grotesque levels of tax cuts: CEO’s getting write-offs for yachts and private jets, and some of the most broad-based tax cuts for the 1% that we have ever seen in this country.
Those tax cuts had a sunset period — and that sunset period occurs in 2025.
What Elon Musk wants is for these tax cuts to not only be extended, but to apply to him in a larger way than ever before so that he can amass even more money.
But in order to extend them, they need to find four trillion dollars. So they're going to go after massive programming cuts, and they propose cutting “waste.”
And the biggest one that they are going after is Medicaid.
So understand the central motivations here. This is about preying on working class people in order to suck up what little is left of American public infrastructure and hand it over to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and all these corporations.
Do not give up the strategic advantage of our numbers. Do what you can and do not submit, and know that what you can do is enough.
I'm sure there's so much going on that there are things that I may not have addressed. For that, I apologize. We will come back to it.
More soon,
