It's required by existing law that revenue cuts can only increase the deficit so much before benefits must be cut to partially offset. Medicare is also being cut (not just SNAP and Medicaid) The goal is to funnel wealth into the pockets of the GOP's biggest donors. Everything else is fallout

there is also a populist element to this - eliminating taxes on tips for service workers, and renewing tax cuts for middle income ppl that were going to expire. That's why R's won the election

tax cuts go right through to middle income ppl too, increasing the exemptions and so on. Of course the $ amount isn't as big but $1k/yr or whatever for someone earning 60k is significant for them

the tax cuts are only 25% funded by letting unemployed die w/o care. But this misses from the governing majority's point of view, letting unemployed die from lack of care is a + not a bug, entirely intentional. Letting them get sick + hounded by bill collectors teaches responsibility
