🏛️ One Big Beautiful Bill – Super bill, major controversy
Signed on July 4, 2025, by Mr. Trump, "One Big Beautiful Bill" is a budget and tax law package over 1,000 pages long, consolidating many policies:
– Expanding dozens of tax incentives (from tip taxes, tips, car loan interest) worth over $4.5 trillion
– Reducing Medicaid/SNAP by about $1 trillion, with new work requirements
– Increasing spending for defense & border security by an additional $300–350 billion
This bill was passed in a closely divided Congress (Senate: 51–50, House: 218–214) .
Who wins, who loses?
– Helps the wealthy, businesses, and overtime workers (increased child tax credit, tip tax exemption)
– Defense infrastructure and immigration are strengthened
– Risk of increasing public debt by about $2.4–3.4 trillion and causing 10–14 million people to lose health insurance
President Trump hailed this as a "historic victory," but the opposition bloc warns: "a ruthless act," which could cause the deaths of thousands of poor people.
