Why the Bull Market Forgot This: The Hidden Cost of Tax Cuts and Medicaid Cuts in Trump’s Legislative Gambit

The Illusion of Beauty

I watched the White House roll out “One Big Beautiful Bill” like a luxury car draped in velvet—polished for optics, not policy. It wasn’t meant to reduce deficits; it was meant to hide them. Trump framed tax cuts as historic, permanent relief—but they were always temporary, patched into long-term assumptions like a lease that expires at midnight. No one talks about this openly.

The Senate’s Silent Veto

In the chamber,共和党 senators didn’t vote because they believed in lower taxes—they voted because they refused to pay for Medicaid expansions. Josh Hawley didn’t oppose this out of malice; he did it because his constituents are diabetic, hungry, and terrified of losing food stamps. The math is brutal: $200 billion in projected spending cuts disguised as fiscal restraint.

Data Doesn’t Lie, But Politicians Do

I ran the numbers twice. On paper, tax cuts pay for themselves—in theory. In reality? They’re paid for by slashing Medicaid, nutrition aid, even public land sales—all wrapped in libertarian rhetoric. When you cut $80 billion from healthcare to fund tax breaks for the top 1%, you don’t get growth—you get inequality.

A Melancholic Forecast

This isn’t political theater; it’s actuarial poetry written in blood and spreadsheets. My colleagues at Deep潮 TechFlow call it “a policy hot mess.” And they’re right. We track tokenomics with more rigor than we track campaign promises—because blockchain ledgers don’t lie.

What’s Your Unwritten Rule?

If you believe austerity is moral—and that markets forget nothing—ask yourself: Who holds the key when the vault closes? Not Congress. Not even Trump. Who pays when the bills come due?
