Dem Rep. Garamendi: Elon Can Help Dems Kill the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

EXCERPT:

GARAMENDI: "We can get caught up in the tit-for-tat and back-and-forth with a tweet here or there, but the reality is that this is going to have a significant impact on a very, very crucial piece of legislation, which, in my view, is an absolutely horrible piece of legislation. That‘s the big ugly bill or the big beautiful bill, depending upon how you look at it. The reality is that that legislation is seriously impacted by this fight. You get past the the various personality issues involved, and Musk is pointing out that the bill has very, very serious consequences for our national debt. And I just overheard the speaker a moment ago talking about the beautiful cuts, the largest cuts ever. Well, those are cuts on critical programs, on health care programs, the Medicaid program, Medi-Cal in California, 10 to 15 million people would lose their health care, school lunch programs, veterans programs, programs that Americans depend upon, and international programs, all being slashed and destroyed in that legislation. So this is really, really significant. Beyond the personalities involved, it‘s going to have a serious effect and, in my view, be helpful in, well, either killing or causing that legislation to be seriously amended."
