Marijuana is a natural herb that is prescribed in over 200 countries as treatment of serious ailments. The current law is an archaic law that is rooted in some reprehensible undertones. It is not in anyway a gateway drug. It has so many healing qualities.

Dennis Willems

Everyone should support the bill.

Eric Smith

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!

Toasty

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.

Charles Barnes

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

It is a wealth transfer Bill: From the poorest Americans to the richest.

Anita Grace Ward

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!

Laura Cochran

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

Brad Chance

He said he would support the people who elected him. It's simple

Chris Ketcherside

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.

Paula Garrett

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.

James Itczak

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

Gary Carter

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.

The States should be educating people on how to keep their legs crossed.

Let the free market decide the fate of abortion clinics.

Max DeYoung

We need another question of the day, to further divide the community.
