Prof Heather Cox Richardson on the big beautiful bill in Congress of 2025

My paraphrasing and rephrasing of the Professor’s post

Keep it simple silly.

We all die, so let’s cut out 10.3 million for the federal healthcare program for low-income Americans. But we will pile on more debt for tax cuts to the rich. Some may die in Space X missions to colonize Mars, some may die in custody in prisons run for profit and paid for by your tax dollars. Many may die from the huge increase in the defense bill to protect “us”. Because the solution is find eternal life through Jesus.

The Christian version of pseudo science is in fact no different from the communist experiments to accelerate science to utopian goals which resulted in the starvation deaths of at-least 50 million people.

Truth pursued through reason is a bear. The scientific methodology requires ideology free curation by experts who spend a lot of time not questioning well established expert curated knowledge but being tested on how well they know it because standing on the shoulders of giants is how the science grew and it grew in the western world because of liberty and the freedom to think in the temples of knowledge, the universities this is sacrosanct.

It is not faith versus reason but faith influenced faux reason that is the problem because objectivity is lost whenever ideology is the guide.

There is no such thing as “liberal” ideology. It is simply reason and the scientific methodology versus pseudo science of which RFK Jr is a poster child.

Note: Facebook quirk –
you see Heather’s post appear in your feed. You can immediately hit share. If your attention span is longer, you can’t find it in your feed again. You go to her page and hit like, that feature works. If you hit the share button, that does not.

Having made a career in eork srounds and fixes gor the quirks of SF oftware, this is my conjecture, that they don’t all the people who hit like to share it, perhaps that is costly from a resource standpoint, just like it is costly to keep the poor alive.
