‘Republicans have been slammed online for their exuberant celebrations over the passage of President Donald Trump’s signature domestic policy bill which will strip health insurance from millions and cut meals for some of America’s poorest children.
The GOP budget package, dubbed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill”, provides tax cuts for the wealthy while slashing benefits through Medicaid and the food assistance program SNAP. It passed by a thin 218-214 margin Thursday in the House of Representatives and will be signed into law by the President in the Oval Office at 4pm Friday.
After the bill passed, Republicans danced in the House to Village People’s Y.M.C.A, one of the President’s preferred rally songs, hugged each other and posed for photographs with thumbs up. Others took their celebrations online. Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden, of Wisconsin, replied “YES!” on X in response to a post which read: “17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance.”
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, at least 17 million Americans are estimated to lose health coverage, or subsidies in their insurance that make it affordable. Fewer children will be automatically eligible for free school meals under the legislation and the bill creates “a domino effect” that will harm children across the U.S., the School Nutrition Association warned. SNAP benefits will now be withheld from adults with children who do not return to work if their youngest child is 14 years or older.’

Making themselves and billionaires richer by killing Americans in a cruel fashion.
These people are reprehensible.
