It’s better than Medicaid!
Thanks to Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill you can save 200 bucks when you buy a silencer for your assault rifle.
That little item was added to the bill by Texas Senator John Cornyn.
So while my neighbors here in Rebel Acres Trailer Park might lose their Medicaid and not be able to afford their hypertension medication they’ll actually be better off because now they’ll get a good night’s sleep.
Mrs. McClatchy is always complaining that her sleep is disturbed when I sit in my lawn chair under my mosquito lamp and pop off rounds at the squirrels in the persimmon tree. She claims that’s one reason for her heart condition. Not getting a solid night’s sleep due to the pop! pop! pop! that comes from my place over by her’s.
I’m glad that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill was able to masterfully balance all of the competing needs of the American people. Like giving billions more to ICE so they can round up breadwinners while at the same time threatening people’s healthcare and cutting food aid to the unemployed and the working poor.
But that $200 break on the silencer tax was a stroke of genius.
Think of all the things I can buy for that $200 that will help boost the economy.
A keg of beer for our 4th of July barbecue.
Hamburgers for our Fourth of July barbecue.
A barbecue grill for our Fourth of July barbecue.
More ammo to shoot squirrels for our Fourth of July barbecue.
If more people would go out and buy silencers then more of us would have an extra 200 bucks to buy things like the walker you’ll need when some drunken yahoo at the Fourth of July barbecue puts a 5.56 mm slug through your foot.
Or when you put one through your own foot.
So limp on down to the local gun store to get your silencer and a box of shells so you can be a real American and sit in your lawn chair while you shoot squirrels out of the persimmon tree.
You can do that even if Medicaid doesn’t pay for your physical therapy.
