President Trump signed the Big, Beautiful Bill, which had something in it for nearly everybody. Democrats didn't gripe about the expanded SALT tax exemption because rich people in the blue states were the primary beneficiaries. Instead, they focused their complaints on the modest cuts to Medicare, the supplemental food program, and other governmental services.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, who cadged her way into Harvard by claiming to be a Cherokee Indian, is leading the histrionic charge, saying, "People will die" as a result of the bill's passage.
Other Democrats have joined her in waving the bloody shirt to stir partisan rancor. Senator Bernie Sanders, a doddering old fool, claimed the bill would kill 51,000 people a year. The leftist media slyly hints that we can blame the recent Texas flood fatalities on Trump's budget cuts, a contemptible bit of propaganda worthy of Joseph Goebbels, and sleazy Senator Chuck Schumer wants a federal investigation of that outrageous allegation.
The day is fast approaching when the nation's debt--$36 trillion and growing by the hour--will pull down America's economy. The Trump administration's efforts to trim the cost of government can be legitimately criticized, but shrieking "People will die" is not a principled response.
The Democratic Party and its co-conspirators in academia and the media are no longer interested in civil debate on national policy issues. Their aim is to sow chaos, and chaos they will likely get.
They will be surprised, however, by Flyover Country's reaction when the Heartland has had enough. The forces that long for chaos won't like it when that chaos shows up in Silicon Valley, Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons, and Harvard Yard.
