Well, with the structure, it's a question of the structure. So a lot of these blue states have high state taxes. When you have a high state tax, it means you get more money from the state. If you have a lower state tax, you have to get more money from the federal government. And those red states are the states with the lower state taxes. So they get more money from the federal government.

What does Donald Trump want to do? What does the big, beautiful bill do? It actually cuts federal services for a lot of states I mean, cuts federal services broadly across the board, but the people who are going to be affected the harshest are going to be people who live in red states. For example, Trump World is obsessed with getting rid of the Department of Education. They're doing this because

They're sort of obsessed with Carter, and Carter created the Department of Education. So there's a feeling that if they could just get rid of the Department of Education, then they can, you know. But the things that the Department of Education do, right, Pell Grants, that's college for kids who can't afford it. Title I, that's money for schools that don't have any money.

These are things that really help the poorest of us. And they're why the federal government sort of exists. They're the social safety net. And what Trump did in his second term was he was able to get sort of lower information voters to get out and vote for him. And they were people who didn't necessarily vote. They're not even lower information.

That is true, but there are also these low-frequency voters. That's why the polling is always so off for Trump, is because he gets people who don't vote to vote for him. But the problem is a lot of those people who don't vote tend to be people who really are, who benefit from the federal government, as well they should, a lot of them.

You know, one of the most disturbing things about this big, beautiful bill, and look, this bill is going to go to the Senate and it's going to get totally changed. But one of the things that's the most upsetting about it, this really is, this bill is set up to make good a lot of Trump's campaign promises, many of which are, I think, pretty undoable, like no tax on tips.

How are you going to say what's a tip, what's not a tip? How are you going to, you know, make it so that people can't just say everything I do is a tip now? I mean, it's, I'm not sure how you can structure that. But more importantly, Trump, What you're seeing now is these – it's just these Republicans – are going after the people who put them in office.

And a great example of this is the SNAP benefits. So this will be the largest cut to food assistance. I think in history, I think that I had read it was in history. And I mean, it'll be a seismic shift in the way we give money to children. It will mean more hungry children. This cut will mean more hungry children. important to mention that this bill also grows the deficit.
