How Trump's Budget Bill Makes America a Police State | Live with Edwin Eisendrath

The legislation is so much worse than you think.

As we speak, Trump’s GOP toadies in the World’s Most Deliberative Body (a.k.a. the U.S. Senate) are trying to push through what Chicago radio host Edwin Eisendrath and Lincoln Square Executive Editor believe is the worst legislation they’ve seen in their lifetimes.

It’s Trump’s budget reconciliation bill (what we call the MAGA Murder Budget around here). And it’s worse than you think.

This week, we saw Jeff Bezos and 90 of his best friends in their private jets fly to Venice, Italy, and take over that beautiful city for his own wedding, right? These tax cuts mean we taxpayers will pay for his wedding — which is insane. It's disgusting.”
