As far as I can tell, our progressive SS Swampcultists have no idea what's in the BBB beyond propaganda coming from Curt's Holy Trinity, pb's The Rachel, Dem Party talking points.
But, the truth is that many cuts the Dem Swampcult is "sky is falling-ing" are 30 year old Clinton, Democrat Leadership Council, bipartisan, responsible economic policy from the days when Clinton and a GOP Congress actually balanced the US budget...
... back in the day pb was a Dem, and still, happy about it.
Clinton signs ‘Welfare to Work’ bill, Aug. 22, 1996
1996 President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. The legislation substantially reconstructed the nation’s welfare system by giving state governments more autonomy over welfare services while also reducing the federal government’s role.
... the act ended welfare as an entitlement program; required recipients to begin working after two years of receiving benefits; placed a lifetime limit of five years on benefits paid by federal funds; sought to encourage two-parent families and to discourage out-of-wedlock births; enhanced enforcement of child support, and required state professional and occupational licenses to be withheld from undocumented immigrants.
In his 1992 presidential campaign, Clinton pledged to reform the welfare system, adding changes such as work requirements for recipients.
Clinton and Gingrich negotiated over reform legislation in private meetings. Previously, Clinton had sought to cut a deal with Sen. Trent Lott, (R-Miss.), the majority whip, but failed to do so. Meantime, Gingrich persuaded the more conservative members of his caucus to support the “welfare to work” approach.
Those were the good old days, and, today's GOP is attempting to bring back functional bipartisan DC government.
So far, the Dems ain't cooperating.
