I Support the Big, Beautiful, Bill Because I Think Coal is the Future, Find Uninsured Poor People Funny, and Am Rooting for a Debt Catastrophe

I have my reasons!

Is the “Big, Beautiful, Bill” good or bad? That depends on your priorities. We know the bill’s basic shape: The 2017 tax cuts will be made permanent, there will be cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, and green energy subsidies will be pared back. Whether you consider that good or bad depends on your values.

Me: I’m all-in. I think this is the right bill at the right time. Though the details are still being hammered out, Congress is most of the way to a bill that addresses this country’s woes with surgical precision. Kudos, sirs and madams! You have proven yourself equal to the moment. Because — in my humble opinion — we sorely need three things: 1) A less-accessible health care system; 2) Commitment to 19th-century fuel sources, and 3) A debt crisis so severe that it could give rise to a pre-civilizational economy in which power is held by warlords and exemplary prostitutes.
