TDS’ Chieng: Big Beautiful Bill Cutting Health Care and Food Stamps to Pay for Tax Cuts Is ‘Cartoonishly Mean’ to Poor People

EXCERPT:

CHIENG: "Wow, cutting healthcare and food stamps to pay for tax cuts. I mean, the only way this could be more cartoonishly mean to poor people is if it said Bob Cratchit has to work on Christmas Day. He’s just a frog! Why does he have to work at all? 
(Laughter)
But this vote was very controversial, even among Republicans, who didn’t like how it increased the debt by $4 trillion. Do you realize how much money $4 trillion is? No, you don’t. Because none of it went to education!”
