The Big Beautiful Bill today has successfully passed the Senate, and has been sent to Trump to sign into office by tomorrow, what are your thoughts on it?

Personally, the biggest thing for me is that I am absolutely terrified of remaining in this country for in the coming decades, purely because of the debt. I think it was under Biden I really started to realize and come to terms with the fact that hardly anybody in the government cares about to wants to do what is necessary to fix the debt crisis, but I had hope nonetheless. I clung to the vain idea that my representative, Thomas Massie, would somehow convince enough Republicans that 2 decades of kicking the can down the road was enough, and we needed to make the hard decisions immediately to stop this crisis before its truly too late. And it didn't happen.

So now, I'm extremely concerned that if I remain in and work in this country, that, eventually, 20 or 30 years from now, the government is no longer going to be able to take on more debt, and then go bankrupt, which will cause the economy to go tits up. And personally, I dont want to be around when that happens.

Im thinking, and you know, I always thought all those people who freaked out every time a Republican became president and said they were moving to Canada or Europe were stupid, but I genuinely do think that Im unironically wanting to do exactly that within the next 10 years, now. Unless someone gets into office in 2028 and ACTUALLY cuts back on spending, raises taxes, and gives us a budget surplus, I have zero hope for this country.

I believe this is the pinnacle of every single politician in this nation failing us thus far. Republicans for passing this bill in the first place, and Democrats for being so incompetent and cowardly that we've gotten to this point.
