We don't have to, but that's basically what's going to happen. That or nothing, and nothing makes taxes go up on everyone.
Or we just pass the tax cuts without all the BULLSHIT SPENDING

That would be nice, but because of the list of RINO's that won't vote for it without the spending, it won't happen with the current representatives.
The abomination of a bill called the One Big Beautiful Bill is now passed from the committee and is sent to the floor of the house for a vote.
$40,000 SALT bailout to help the liberal blue state governors who destroy their own states is included in the bill. Tax the red states to bail out the blue states!
On the bight side, they did accelerate some of the cost saving measures, many of which were previously delayed until after Trump would be out of office. So that is some good news.

House Republicans tee up floor action on Trump’s megabill
The House Rules Committee approved the more than 1,000-page bill for floor debate Wednesday evening, along with a slew of alterations.

House Republicans cleared their party-line tax and spending package for floor debate Wednesday night, while slating changes to appease GOP lawmakers who were threatening to vote no.
The House Rules Committee voted to tee up the more than 1,000-page bill for floor action, as GOP leaders race to call a passage vote before lawmakers are scheduled to leave town for a week-long Memorial Day recess. Passage is uncertain, however, even after President Donald Trump and GOP leaders spent days working on changes to get fiscal conservatives and other holdouts to support the megabill delivering on Trump’s campaign–trail promises of new tax cuts, a military funding boost and border security spending.
The panel also adopted a package of tweaks to the legislation, including language triggering work requirements for Medicaid recipients at the end of 2026, rather than the start of 2029, the deadline House Republicans initially wrote into the bill.
In a win for blue-state Republicans, the amendment increases the limit in the bill on how much taxpayers can deduct in state and local taxes to about $40,000, after Trump demanded this week that those SALT-cap holdouts “leave it alone.” The measure already included language to boost the cap to $30,000, from the $10,000 in current law.
The phase-out of tax perks for clean energy projects have also been accelerated under the tweaks the committee approved.
Republican leaders already publicly posted changes to some parts of the bill before the markup, including tweaks to language that would have barred legal immigrants from receiving SNAP food aid, with significant carve-outs for Cuban nationals that some Florida members had requested. GOP leaders also added a mandate that some beneficiaries in states that have expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act pay up to $35 per service.
BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL PASSED HOUSE 215-214
A marathon overnight session proves the swamp is alive and healthy.
But is it a conservative victory that will roll back spending?
Let's just get to the meat of the stories . . . but maybe you want to go take your blood pressure meds first! So you can read the whole story at Politico but I saved you the trouble. The SALT state RINOs got their grift, at the cost of something like a $100 BILLION bailout for big spending liberal blue state governors Newsom, Hotchel, Pritzger, etc. The spending cuts were sped up, which is actually good news. Lots of little cave outs to preserver the swamp.
The 'hardliners' being referred to are the heroes of the FREEDOM CAUCUS, which will likely get screwed over. The RINOs appear to have won the day. IS THIS WHAT WE VOTED FOR? There are some wins, but the Senate is going to change it, so lets see how bad it gets before we proclaim any victories with a pile of losses we already know about.

The bill’s path to passage was smoothed by a 42-page amendment that the House Rules Committee approved after spending more than 21 hours on a markup. The package of changes was loaded with hand-tailored provisions to woo Republican holdouts.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where Republicans are expected to tear up many of the policy provisions sought by House GOP hardliners.
The real problem is that most voters and 2/3 of our elected "leaders" can't do simple math. We are on a collision course with a default. It's like a train wreck, you can see it coming from a distance but there doesn't seem like there is a way to avoid it. There will be a collision between the givers and the takers.
