Service workers should be protected against their patrons. Mask science shows this is by *patrons* wearring masks. Businesses are too greedy to protect their workers by making this rule on their own. Hospitals are getting overwhelmed again.

If masks really worked, and caught and stopped this deadly virus, then Hazardous Medical Waste Stations would be everywhere for masks and gloves. All fear, and no facts.

The fact is that masks collect the germs that would otherwise be *airborne* and make their way into the nasal passageways of a host. Moving air alone helps to mitigate this transmission. So, masks and gloves even on the street won't be a risk, unless people are rubbing their nostrils with them

Listen to peer vetted health experts, appointed as public health officials- who state The Science shows yes, masks do work. That said as trained in interpreting and critiquing research, trained to *teach* these skills. Part of being skilled in critical thought is knowing when to ask an expert

Lol, the chips. Nevermind they're all already carrying a simple tracking and monitoring device.... their cell phone. Ever wonder how those ads show up for, oddly, something you just talked about with a friend 3 days earlier? Your phone is already watching you.

They should support the president and the constituents who voted them in. That includes us who believe you work for what you get. No handouts!

The cuts didn't go deep enough. Ex. Musk's criticisms about how the EV mandates would be cut (good thing), but no cuts to the auto industry subsidies (bad thing). The liberal/socialist media is already lying to folks how this bill is throwing grandma under the bus. Proof? Look at the 'No' comments.

This is a good start and the best that could be passed. Don't let perfect be the enemy of great.

Please don’t do that! Trump promised no cuts to Medicaid but her we are just 5months into his term and he is doing that!

Help for the rich to get richer and it puts more average people in worse situations. Don't cut Medicaid or Social Security

The only way they can make this look like it doesn’t completely destroy the deficit is by making certain tax cuts and spending increases “temporary.” I support the tax cuts, as long as they are met with subsequent spending cuts. The true burden of government is what it spends, not what it taxes.

We will vote every last Republican out of office. Stealing food and Healthcare from [anyone] to profit the rich is an act of war and shall be treated as such.

It would increase the national debt by about 3 trillion dollars, and take away necessary infrastructure, all while lowering taxes on the wealthy.

As a customer of the Affordable Care Act I find it appalling that the two senators from Missouri would even consider supporting this bill that will potentially triple my monthly premium and also cut benefits. They should be ashamed of themselves for bowing down to the President. Checks and balances

You are kidding, right? Missouri congressmen need to read their job descriptions and represent their constituents. Voting for this bill is a betrayal of the will of the people.

Millionaires and billionaires don't need a tax break as much some people need health care. Also, social security's fund needs fixed which would have been a better use for that $45 million he wasted on a parade. Trump has all his priorities wrong.

They were elected to represent their constituents, ALL CONSTITUENTS not just those whom they perceived voted for them. Don't let anyone hold their vote hostage.
