Republican Budget DEEP DIVE — Gutting Medicaid, Selling Public Land, Enriching BillionairesThe Josh Lafazan Show on YouTube - Episode 139GOP Budget Bill Exposed — Separating Fact from FictionWelcome to The Josh Lafazan Show — in today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the Republican Party’s so-called "Big Beautiful Budget Bill."This bill passed the House of Representatives by the narrowest of margins, but don’t let the GOP talking points fool you. What they’re pitching as a bold plan for economic revival is actually a dangerous proposal that threatens health care access, hikes taxes on the poor, and blows a multi-trillion-dollar hole in the federal deficit.🔎 What Republicans Want You to Believe:GOP leaders claim the bill will:Prevent the largest tax increase in U.S. historyStop "woke" policiesRemove only undocumented immigrants from MedicaidBut here's the truth:📉 FACT: The Bill Kicks 11 Million Americans Off Health InsuranceAccording to estimates from the CBO and KFF:11.2 million Americans will lose coverageMedicaid expansion is slashedACA subsidies are rolled backCommunity health programs are guttedThese cuts hit low-income families, rural communities, and the elderly hardest. So much for "fiscal responsibility."📈 FACT: The Bill Adds $4.8 TRILLION to the DeficitYes, this bill actually increases the deficit — despite Republican claims of budget discipline. Why?Massive tax cuts for the wealthyExpanded defense spending without cuts elsewhereInfrastructure privatization schemes that rely on long-term federal subsidiesEven Senator Rand Paul, no fan of government spending, slammed the bill for being a "fiscal nightmare."💸 FACT: Raises Taxes on the Poorest AmericansAmericans earning under $30,000/year will see their taxes go upMeanwhile, the top 1% will get an average $55,000/year tax breakKey deductions and credits for the working class are eliminatedThat’s not reform — that’s wealth redistribution, Republican-style.🌍 FACT: Sells Off Public Lands to Fossil Fuel CompaniesThe bill authorizes:The sale of millions of acres of federal land, including national forests and Indigenous landPublic lands handed over to fossil fuel developers under the guise of "unlocking energy potential"Environmental groups call this what it is: a corporate land grab.🔊 What Democrats Are Saying:House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called this bill:"Cruel" to working families"Hypocritical" on fiscal policyAn "environmental disaster"Deeply unpopular — polls show most Americans oppose it📅 What Happens Next?The bill passed the House but faces stiff resistance in the SenateDemocrats can block it via filibusterModerate Republicans like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are undecidedIf two GOP senators defect, the bill diesSo will this pass? Maybe not — but it could become law if Republicans win big in 2026 or 2028. That’s why this fight matters now.🚨 Bottom Line: This Bill is a WarningThe GOP budget tells us everything about their priorities:❌ Cut health care❌ Raise taxes on the poor✅ Enrich the wealthy❌ Sell our lands❌ Explode the deficitWe can’t afford to ignore this.🔔 Call your representatives. Tell them to vote NO on this reckless bill. And stay tuned — because this fight is far from over.#politics #news #congress #politicalnews #newsupdate #usa #america #trump #donaldtrump #newsheadlines #newstoday #fyp #election #breakingnews
