Schumer Attempts To Gaslight Voters

Washington, D.C. — As President Donald Trump’s groundbreaking “One Big Beautiful Bill” gains traction in the Senate, Democrats are sounding the alarm, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., resorting to fear-based messaging and media theatrics.

Schumer branded the bill the “We’re All Going to Die Act,” after Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, made headlines by calmly telling a constituent worried about health coverage cuts, “Well, we all are going to die.” Ernst’s comment sparked outrage on the left but resonated with many Americans tired of exaggerated political narratives.

At a press conference, Schumer doubled down, claiming the bill would strip health insurance from millions, slash Medicare, and burden low-income Americans. But conservatives see a very different picture—one of tax cuts, personal responsibility, and much-needed government reform.

📉 Key Benefits of the Bill Include:

• $3.7 trillion in tax cuts for American families and businesses
• Elimination of taxes on tips, benefiting millions of service workers
• Work requirements for Medicaid to ensure able-bodied adults contribute to society
• A pathway to reduce federal waste and restore fiscal sanity

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill could add $2.4 trillion to the deficit, a concern raised by some Republicans including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Yet supporters argue that over time, economic growth from tax relief will offset federal shortfalls and rein in unnecessary spending.

Schumer warned that the bill could result in up to 16 million Americans losing health coverage by 2034, though critics point out this figure includes people who voluntarily leave Medicaid due to income increases or failure to meet basic reporting requirements.

🏥 Medicare Concerns?
The bill includes a spending cap trigger that could impact Medicare, but the Trump administration has reaffirmed its commitment to protect seniors. As of April, over 67 million Americans aged 65 and older depend on Medicare—and the bill does not touch core benefits.

Sen. Joni Ernst later clarified her comment on social media, stating, “Yes, we’re all going to pass from this world eventually. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a serious discussion about health care reform.”

She added with humor, “I’m glad I didn’t have to explain the Tooth Fairy too.”

🧾 Additional Provisions to Watch:

• Shortened Medicaid enrollment periods
• Verification measures to prevent fraud
• New incentives for states to encourage work and reduce dependency

The bill passed the House last month in a tight 215-214 vote with no Democrat support. In the Senate, it now faces scrutiny from moderates like Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has voiced concerns over work requirements, and Sen. Paul, who believes more aggressive spending cuts are needed.

But for President Trump and millions of working Americans, the bill represents a return to sanity: fewer handouts, lower taxes, and a government that puts taxpayers—not bureaucrats—first.
