Statement on the passage of the Big Bullsh*t Bloated Billionaire Welfare Bill

The American people elected Donald Trump because of the price of eggs and the economy, and he is about to destroy our country with his bill that ruins the middle class. 

This bill will keep the billionaire class in shape with their $50 million extravagant weddings by making their 2017 tax cuts permanent. Meanwhile, in the Southside of El Paso, someone dependent on Medicare is going to suffer when their life-saving medication gets more expensive, because this bill gives a $5 billion check to big pharmaceutical companies and blasts a hole in Medicare's ability to negotiate drug prices. 

While this bill will allow the billionaire class to keep their tax cuts to purchase those extra Teslas, SNAP and Medicare beneficiaries in San Elizario will suffer because they will lose these benefits. I hope Tony Gonzalez, who repeatedly said he would not vote for any cuts, remembers that he lied to them and the other 17 million who will lose their health care. 

And this is why Elon Musk is still upset, as it will increase the national debt by adding trillions of dollars to the deficit. So much for the party of "fiscal responsibility."

As chair of the El Paso County Democratic Party, I hope you’re as angry as I am—and we're going to ensure that, in every corner of our community, we engage with voters from Anthony to Tornillo to remind them that Trump and his Project 2025 agenda are not in their best interest.

We encourage you to join our cause, become a neighborhood team leader at elpasodemocrats.com/organize, and fight with us against this disastrous administration.  

We're going to continue calling, knocking, and protesting, and we'll make sure to vote and win in 2026.
