Disappointed,…
Not surprised, even less surprised the call to remove them came from an unelected bureaucrat.

I knew it wouldnt fly. Was hoping but…
Instead of the whole they should have just went with getting rid of the $200 tax. According to the rules, you can modify an existing rule/law. As long as it has to do with budget. Had a better chance with that than the whole package. Introduce the rest later.
As for the parliament rule chick, that isnt really a rule, just more of a tradition that everyone followed. Not sure whats up with that totally.
Makes me mad is that the house knew it wouldnt fly because of the senate rules for this bill. Why screw around? Folks wonder why things take so long in DC.

This is just another let down… The big beautiful piece of crap bill … Stinks more and more.
It will further increase the wage gap, and yet again shrink the middle class…
Extension and Expansion of Pass-Through Business Deductions:
The bill permanently extends the Section 199A deduction for qualified business income, increasing the deduction percentage from 20% to 23%.
This expansion disproportionately benefits high-income earners who own pass-through businesses (like partnerships and S corporations) as they can deduct a larger portion of their business income.
The bill also modifies the limitations based on W-2 wages and capital investment, potentially further benefiting higher-income individuals with significant business income and capital.
40 trillion in debt .
All I desire is for them to pay their FAIR SHARE… Like the rest of us…
What is left of the middle class can no longer afford to pay for the poor and the rich.
If anyone cares. According to Tax Notes, the trust holding Donald Trump’s business interests has ownership in various pass-through entities, which include both partnerships and S corporations.
Beautiful Bill …

Pretty sure this was and is the intent. They will say “we tried, but at least we got rid of the tax stamp.”

… but did they actually “get rid of the tax stamp” of the regulations still remain?
the regulations, if I understand them correctly, still require an owner to retain paperwork (stamp) and restrict the transportation across imaginary lines without prior approval.

Let me rephrase, the regulations and paperwork will remain. You just won’t have to pay the $200. A tiny carrot that does nothing.

Still a BS move but atleast saves $200. Hope they re-introduce the act as a stand alone bill but we all know how that goes

Which is funny since the democrats can reinstate and now raise that tax to whatever they choose. We have been betrayed. Every republican in office is a traitor.
Most of the retailers out there will pay the $200 stamp fee to get you to buy a suppressor or sbr. There are retailers out there with those sales all the time and so this is a joke.
Especially when nobody should love to be on a registry

My taxes are going to go down by $7k which is whatever, just more money towards savings. However the parts I actually cared about were gutted so my children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren are going to be paying for the deficit this Bill creates and all I got was 28k for the next 4 years, hurray!

SS and overtime were cut from the bill, hurray for those making tips. The Bill will increase our debt by Trillions and now we won’t have people to do low wage jobs that anyone with a Junior High Education is overqualified for. Maybe you are excited to watch your grandchildren do the jobs that immigrants did, not me.

It also shows a lack of understanding in how and when spending cuts are actually done. A reconciliation bill, which is what the BBB is, by design does not make cuts to discretionary spending. Reconciliation bills make cuts, if any, to “entitlement”, such as Medicaid, and other mandatory spending.
The significant cuts occur via rescission bills/packages, which target non-mandatory spending, and are typically written, voted on and passed/rejected after the reconciliation bill has been finalized.

I am not a single issue voter. I also did not see a win in being saddled with 2 trillion a year deficits saddling future generations with even more unpayable debt.
Your snide assertion that one group of people are the worst is asinine and intellectually dishonest. I would rather have one bill and one vote rather than a monolithic pile of bills that no human can read in 12 hours. What an absolute absurdist mindset.
I also wanted my government purged of corrupt bureaucrats and then watched Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, and Kash Patel tell the American public that Epstein killed himself, there were no clients listed, no one is going to be prosecuted, and then watched Trump say “Are we still talking about this guy?”
Please… I want my government to stop ■■■■■■■lying to me and betraying me. Is that too much to ask?

I’m giving this administration the full four year term to turn things around. Then I will evaluate whether we are better off than we were before.
There’s a boatload of bullsh!t that has to be waded through.
Why did we need this huge bill? Because the last dumpster fire flooded the country with millions of dependents that soaked up all the local, state and federal government services and resources.
Now we not only have to spend a fortune undoing the damage, we have to fund things that were neglected for four years, plus fund all the bs lawsuits being thrown at the government.
It will take at least 10 years to undo the damage the presidential coup of 2020 caused.
There is an awful lot of good going on. Do yourselves all a favor and watch some cabinet meetings. (Fox news covers them basically in their entirety)
Remember, we’re BARELY (Not even) six months in.

Good news is that there has already been a rescission bill (H.R. 4) worth more than $9 billion created. It has passed through the House and is now with the Senate. Hopefully it’ll pass there and get sent to Trump for signing. We’ll need a few more after that.

Yes, any money that went to bogus expenditures and can be clawed back will be used to fight this fight.
