Campaign Update: House Approves 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Framework - Now What?

On a skin-of-your-teeth vote of 217-215, House Republicans passed the framework for the “Big, Beautiful Bill” addressing tax cuts, immigration, the debt ceiling, spending cuts, and other items last night, setting the stage for a testy debate with the Senate, which passed a stripped-down bill of its own last week.

Here’s one problem: The House framework calls for $2 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10 years, but they have no idea where those cuts would come from. This little fact enables Democrats and their media propagandists to falsely claim the cuts will come from Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security as if those are details in the bill passed last night, which is 100% false.

Here’s how Politico reported it, as an example:

The Senate, for instance, is looking to avoid the deep cuts to Medicaid that the House is leaning on for significant cost cutting.

Again, this is 100% false, yet it is presented by Politico and the rest of the legacy media as if it were metaphysical certitude. Just one more example why, no matter how much you think you hate the legacy media, you do not hate them remotely as much as they so richly deserve.
