No matter what President Trump does the Democrats go about shouting “the sky is falling” and the Big Beautiful Bill is no exception. I could write a long rebuttal, but it would not change anyone’s mind, so I submitted just a few points.

The BBB invests in America’s future providing benefits for the rich, the middle class and low-income families, all while rebuilding our military making us the greatest nation in the world. It includes $9B for Artic security, a historic $25B for the U.S. Coast Guard to combat drugs and improve maritime security, provides permanent tax relief allowing small businesses to invest in their businesses and employees and overhauls the “death tax” imposed by the federal and state governments on someone’s estate upon death.

It delivers the largest tax cut for working and middle-class families and unleashes the power of American energy.

Medicaid is protected and strengthened for those who rely on it while eliminating fraud, waste and abuse, removing illegal aliens and enforcing work requirements for able bodied freeloaders who abuse the system.

And not one Democrat voted for the bill.

In a socialist society leadership requires everyone to “parrot” the same message, to spread hate, to distort the truth, to play dirty and win at any cost. The Democrats are following their playbook. We can see this in our news media as commentators spout almost the exact words no matter what TV or radio station one listens to. We can see this in the opinion pages as well, with almost the same words. The attacks on Trump and his family and friends has been relentless leading to three assassination attempts.

Now the Democrat base openly says, “there needs to be blood.” Socialism doesn’t work; socialism has no place in America. I want to live in a free America where individuality is allowed, where truth matters, where hate has no place, where honesty and integrity are revered and where God is our anchor.

I ask you and my Democrat friends what do you want, a great America or socialism? Soon you will have to make that choice.
