The entire rationale for this bill is to take from the poorest of Americans and give that money to the richest.

They are dumbfounded by the concept that taxpaying citizens actually expect services from the government they pay for.

Congresscritters of Nebraska, we don't want to live in a country where the children are not educated, the needy can't get food, cannot have health care, cannot have homes, cannot get paid a fair wage by employers.

If this bill is necessary to reduce the deficit, why are they voting to increase the debt ceiling by an additional 5 trillion dollars?
