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.

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.

This is a rash and extreme bill and someone needs to speak up and slow this down, people are going to suffer for this,

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.

Because with prices going up on everything else thanks to Mr. Biden we need a break . We pay enough as it is now. So we don't need to pay more sales tax on food. People are having a hard time already.
ReplyWe should NOT be taxed on essential needs, this means living should not be taxed. We should tax non essential items. That's why we struggle. It almost gives us a break.
ReplyA core necessity shouldn't be taxed. Alternatively, you could limit the tax to the wealthy. Removing this tax will help the poor and struggling households.
ReplyThis would be a good thing, but counties and cities would have to follow suit, to make it work. The out the door tax, for most cities, is about 4.2%. That includes state, county, and city taxes. Missouri can be better than that.
ReplyMany states don't have sales tax on food or prescription drugs. Missouri should step up to that higher standard. And the counties and cities should also step up to that standard as well. Most of us currently pay about 4.75% on food, and 7.75% for taxable items, look at your next grocery receipt.
ReplyMany states don't have tax on food, or prescription drugs. I am sad to say, that most of those states, are liberal. One of the few things liberal states do, that is better.
ReplyIt’s time for us not to pay taxes on groceries
ReplyEliminate all taxes in existence. Taxation is theft.
