LOWER COURT POWERS CURTAILED BY SCOTUS & GOP BBB BILL
The DDT GOP omni bill provides tax breaks to the rich, and reduces services for the less wealthy. It imposes conditions on recipients of Medicare that will remove many current participants from assistance.
Less well known or mentioned are provisions that attempt to restrict the power of the Courts to restrain the actions of the Executive Branch.
The bill is expected to reduce taxes significantly for rich Humans and big Corporations. That is expected to increase inflation and raise the deficit by $$$ trillions . There is some candy (tax breaks) for less wealthy Americans, but they have strings attached, and are not expected to significantly compensate for the services that are being eliminated.
Here is a link to a draft of the whole bill. The Senate is modifying it. If passed by the Senate, the bill goes back to the House.
