And I suspected that most ordinary working class Americans, whether they're Democrats or Republicans, are not happy with that bill.

You know, the $1.1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, that's what she brought up.

She brought that up.

And I thought that was really fascinating.

Now, if you talk to someone who identifies as a liberal Democrat, they'll probably think, oh, these Republican voters, they're so greedy.

All they want is tax cuts.

They want to cut the social safety net.

But no, actually, when it comes to ordinary people, there's a lot of agreement, a lot of agreement.

A lot of people are suffering right now.

And, you know, you have all these different industries, especially, you know, beginning in the 90s, offshoring, you know, all these jobs that have been destroyed.

I mean, most people work in the service sector at this point.

And manufacturing jobs are gone.

I think that's part of the reason why Donald Trump has been so appealing to the MAGA base.

Right.

And so...

I want ordinary people to just consider the contradiction here.

So if you're a liberal Democrat and you're under the assumption that Republican voters are just greedy and they want to cut the social safety net, why would they love Trump so much who ran as an economic populist?

Now, I don't think that Trump has carried out his promises because of, well, there's a lot of different examples I can cite, but the most recent is the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.

Yeah, there are some provisions in there, no tax on tips.

It's going to be means tested, and it also expires in four years, whereas the tax benefits that disproportionately benefit the wealthy are permanent.
