Heather Cox Richardson assesses one of the worst laws ever enacted – (42 minutes)

This is really worth listening to in order to get the full picture of the cruelty of what they did.

Which of Iowa’s members of congress was the one that put this monstrosity over the finish line? Each and every one. Had any one of them voted the way their constituents wanted them to vote, this bill may not have passed.

Note that the Iowa congressional delegation voted with their constituents in mind. They voted with only one person in mind. That of course is the “Felon In The White House.” Well, folks. He gets as many votes as you do and he can’t even one in Iowa. 

The furor this law has caused seems to be on a par with the furor that was pulsing in this country in 1776. That led to expelling rulers that had little concern for the ruled. I don’t know about you, but I sure wouldn’t use my vote to put someone back in power who screwed me over so badly.

Three things to consider on this bill. First is that anyone who voted for this bill is in no way religious or moral. If they were religious there would be concern for eternal damnation for voting for a bill which will cause such harm to fellow man. They are much more concerned the Felon In The White House’s condemnation and quake in his sight. He is therefore their god.

Also, such a vote violates nearly every moral or philosophical system man has created except maybe Ayn Rand’s.

Second, note that MAGAs have done all they can to hide the effects of this law such that many of the really bad effects of this law until after the mid-term election. Like so many cowards they have destroyed something and then try to cover it up. When the portions of this law that takes away Medicaid and school lunches goes into effect you can bet that MAGAs will try to blame it on Democrats.

Finally, the very wealthiest among us will make even more money on their grift of the government. As the debt explodes expect the interest rate on the bonds sold to finance that debt to go up probably quite a bit. Expect those bonds to be purchased not by you and I but by the wealthy who can stick those tax cuts into bonds.

And just as a final insult, who will be paying that higher interest on those bonds purchased by the wealthy who got a huge tax cut paid for by you and me? You and I will be paying that interest through our taxes. Thus the MAGAs have found yet another way for the wealthy to legally fleece us to move. Money from the poor to the wealthy.

Congratulations on ending any pretense of equality in this country on July 4th, 2025. 

By the way, I heard in the above video that HCR said the new law is being referred to as “the MAGA Murder” law. Seems appropriate. It will kill people.
