The Defund Red America Act
By 
The Inflation Reduction Act deliberately titled its benefits toward red states to protect it politically. Alas, this greatly underestimated the nihilistic contempt Republican legislators have for their own constituents:
In a December speech on his economic legacy, President Joe Biden predicted that clean energy investments stemming from his signature climate law were “so deeply rooted in the nation” that it would be “politically costly and economically unsound” for the incoming Trump administration to undo them.
With Republicans on the verge of passing President Donald Trump’s sweeping taxand immigration bill, that prediction increasingly appearspolitically unsound — and is shaping up to be economically costly for hundreds of businesses that could lose billions of dollars in promised funding.
Trump’s priority legislation, which is still being hashed out in Congress, aims to gut much of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, undermining the former president’s wager that he could insulate his economic legacy from a MAGA onslaught by spurring a wave of advanced manufacturing in red states. While Republicans faced a backlash when they tried to overturn former president Barack Obama’s signature health care law in 2017 — ultimately dooming Trump’s first major legislative push — there has been less public pushback as Biden’s climate legislation has advanced toward its demise.
The result has set the stage for a swift and dramatic reversal of economic policy, leaving business leaders, local officials, climate activists and former Biden aides to grapple with the fallout of Trump’s norm-shattering approach to governing.
Needless to say, the voters trending Republican during the Trump era are going to get particularly screwed by the Medicaid cuts. If you don’t have a seven figure income, Republicans could care less about the constitients.
Not sure how the cottage industry of pundits who insist that rural whites vote Republican for the material benefits are going to survive this, but I suppose there’s exactly as much evidence for this claim as there’s always been.
