Senate Republicans Pass Their Harmful Version Of Trump’s Big Bad Bill
AUSTIN, Texas – Today, Texas Democratic Party Chairman Kendall Scudder released the following statement in response to the Senate passing their version of Donald Trump’s “Billionaire Bootlicking Bill” which benefits the wealthy and screws over the working class – and is somehow worse than the House version that was passed in the midnight hour:
“Spineless Senate Republicans voted for the worst version of Trump’s tax agenda to intentionally harm working families while rolling out the red carpet for billionaires– with JD Vance swooping in to save their day with his tie-breaking vote. Trump Republicans want to add $3.3 trillion to the debt, shovel boatloads of cash to the top 1%, and shift all the costs to the rest of us. Neither version of the bill helps people who actually need it– it only benefits billionaires and fucks over the rest of us. For the first time in American history, the richest people in this country will pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries, waiters, or golf caddies. It’s disgusting.”
The Senate’s Version of the Big Beautiful Bill Will:
Hike the federal debt by $3.3 trillion
Defund Planned Parenthood, which millions rely on for basic health care: birth control, wellness exams, STI testing, HPV vaccines, and cancer screenings
Exclude millions of low-income families from qualifying for or receiving the full Child Tax Credit due to restrictive income requirements
Hand top earners $12,000 in resources
