5/ The bill cuts the help middle income Americans get to buy health care on the Affordable Care Act exchange.

A 60 year old couple making $85,000 (not a king's ransom) would see a $26,000 increase in health care premiums. Yes, that's right - $26,000.

2/ It was bad enough they cut all the tax incentives for wind and solar energy - they added a NEW TAX on these projects to make sure America never builds any new renewables.

Remember, Trump promised the oil industry provisions like this in exchange for a $1B campaign donation.

6/ Here's another one. Trump snuck $40 million in this bill for a "statue garden". Likely will be filled with MAGA "heroes", reportedly maybe somewhere in South Dakota.

Plenty of money for Trump statue gardens, but not enough money to keep feeding hungry kids.

7/ Found another one: there’s $100 million in the bill for OMB to find “budget and accounting efficiencies in the executive branch”. What? What does that mean? There's no explanation. It's just a slush fund for MAGA chieftain Russ Vought.

$100 MILLION. That's not small money!!!
