The OBBB (Orange Billionaire Bastard’s Boondoogle) and Arizona’s Economy

Trump and the MAGA Congress have shut down the government to ensure that their vision for our economy is enacted. In simple terms for Arizona’s people and economy, it’s a disaster.

It will shatter our state budget, push the quickest growing sectors of our State’s economy into recession or depression, directly kill many people with medical neglect as they lose heathcare access, their hospitals close, and destroy jobs throughout our economy, while children literally go hungry to pay for it..

It is the most damaging and reckless budget ever passed… since the last budget the Trump Regime was able to effect.. It sucks Trillions out of the real economy just to hand over $5 Trillion of it over to the oligarch class.

Here my summary presentation on its impact here in AZ:

Here is some of the preliminary research queries on Perplexity to gather the facts and anaysis done on the OBBB.

Here are various governments’ reports and analysis on which I relied:

Arizona’s Joint Legislative Budget Committee Report.

Pima County’s Analysis of the impact.

Arizona Physician’s Association analysis of OBBB’s impacts on health care.

finally, CBO’s reports on the impact of HR1 (OBBB). You will need to dig a bit to get to the bottom lines in these, and that is by design, I’m sure.

Feel free to use this material and the presentation to do your own investigation and spread the word to your own communities of interest about just how bad this will be for Arizona. And never forget: every single Republican Member of Arizona’s ConDel voted for it – regardless of their rhetoric and excuses.

If video of my live presentation of this deck becomes available, I will post it here under an update. And I may have more to say about it once I have presented it to a live audience at the Green Valley Dems Club today.

Let me know if you would be interested in a presentation to your club or organization. I don’t think enough people appeariciate what’s coming at us – even if the Dems succeed in restoring the ACA subsidies they seek in the shut down fight.

Now, for a surprisingly accurate run down of how MAGA is selling the massive cuts to health and nutrition programs and the lies those excuses contain we turn to John Oliver. Enjoy!
