President Autopen has thoughts on Trump megabill

Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act earned some thoughts on what “working people deserve” from the executive who presided over record inflation.

“… not only reckless — it’s cruel.”

Much like it had long been the norm that lawfare wasn’t turned against political rivals, it used to be customary for former presidents to avoid commenting on what was happening at the White House after they departed. Such a standard appeared not to bother whoever had taken over the duties of acting on behalf of former President Joe Biden as his X account advanced the talking points of President Donald Trump’s OBBB.

Thursday, as the House of Representatives officially passed the budget reconciliation package that advanced the president’s legislative agenda, fulfilled campaign promises, and avoided a tax increase at the end of the year, Biden leveled claims about increased energy and hospital closures.

“The Republican budget bill is not only reckless — it’s cruel,” began the former commander-in-chief who’d been ousted from his own re-election effort. “It slashes Medicaid and takes away health care from millions of Americans. It closes rural hospitals and cuts food assistance for our veterans and seniors. It jacks up energy bills. And it could trigger deep cuts to Medicare while driving up the deficit by $4 trillion. All of this to give a massive tax break to billionaires.”

“Working people deserve better,” added Biden.

Echoing the talking points, former Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama added their own two cents with the former posting, “Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs. This is project 2025 in action.”

Similarly, Obama, who once touted “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” as his Affordable Care Act bumped Americans off their existing health insurance plans, contended, “More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.”

“If the House passes this bill,” he’d warned ahead of the final vote, “it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill.”

While many refuted the claims about Medicaid being taken away from recipients, as the bill set a work requirement of at least 80 hours per month in order to qualify for benefits, others were quick to remind the figures behind the previous administration about the numerous “reckless” and “cruel” decisions that were made that devastated not only the American economy, by the safety of communities and the country writ large.

Flinging open the border for four years was not only reckless — it was cruel.

It was reckless of you to promise Ukraine / Zelenskyy unlimited support, which kicked off the Ukraine / Russia war. Prior to that, Zelenskyy had approved the signing of a peace deal with Russia, but most people don’t know about that.

It preserves Medicaid, narrows eligibility to verified citizens, and adds work incentives. Food aid isn’t eliminated; it’s refocused. The bill targets waste, not need. There is plenty to dislike about it without lying.

The Unaffordable Care Act was responsible for sky rocketing premiums that hurt middle class families.

You know what’s reckless and cruel?

Letting 10 million illegals into the country.

You failed the American people…

…but more specifically, you failed ALL of us in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

I will never forgive you for it, nor will I forget.
