In yet another blatant example of how the political elite in Washington continue to stand in the way of progress, a so-called Senate parliamentarian has thrown a wrench into the gears of President Trump’s bold tax reform and spending bill. This bureaucrat’s decision to block a pivotal Medicaid provider tax change is yet another attempt to undermine the will of the American people who elected Trump to cut through the red tape and drain the swamp.
Republicans are now cornered by these arcane procedural rules crafted to maintain the status quo and keep hardworking Americans under the thumb of big government. The GOP’s agenda, championed by Trump and aimed at providing billions in tax cuts for the backbone of this country, is on the line. Once again, the establishment is putting social safety nets on a pedestal, ignoring the economic growth that lower taxes could unleash.
On the other side, Democrats, as predictable as ever, are shrieking about supposed cuts to Medicaid. They conveniently ignore the waste and misuse rampant in those programs. Democrats would rather fearmonger than face facts, choosing to perpetuate dependency instead of fostering independence and prosperity.
President Trump’s push for legislative action is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the American dream. As he meets with everyday heroes like truck drivers and firefighters, it’s clear who will benefit from his tax cuts—not the fat cats on Wall Street, but the everyday Americans who roll up their sleeves and get to work.
The Hill should be ashamed. Playing politics with Americans’ livelihoods for optics is a tactic ripped straight from the liberal playbook. Meanwhile, brave Republicans press on, determined to deliver the relief this country sorely needs. Why keep an outdated precedent alive if it blocks progress at every turn?
One thing is certain: this resistance by bureaucratic gatekeepers will not keep Trump from delivering on his promises. With the tax cuts set to expire, Congress must act. Are we really going to let a procedural ruling bury bills that stand to revitalize the nation’s economy? Only time will tell. But the choice is clear—America first, or uphold seniors in their ivory tower.
