In comparison, Goldman Sachs, before Trump got here, Goldman Sachs, assuming a more normal set of policies, thought inflation would be down to 2.2% at this point.
And in fact, because of the tariffs and everything else Trump has done, it's back up to 3% and growing at the moment.

And you get a very large cut in Medicaid and these other benefits that we were just talking about that affects the 20% disproportionately.
So this is a highly regressive bill that essentially favors the wealthy, doesn't do much for the middle class, and hurts the poor.
