#OneBigBeautifulBill

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA; OBBB), or the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), is a proposed budget reconciliation bill in the 119th United States Congress. OBBBA passed the House of Representatives on May 22, 2025, in a largely party-line vote of 215–214–1.[1][2] An amended version passed the Senate on July 1, 2025, in another largely party-line 51–50 vote, with vice president JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.

The House-passed OBBBA would extend the major provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire at the end of 2025. It would reduce non-military government spending and would significantly cut spending on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through stricter eligibility requirements. It would also allocate an additional $150 billion for defense spending; scale back many of the Inflation Reduction Act's clean-energy tax credits; extend the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, which is also scheduled to expire in 2025; and increase the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that OBBBA would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt of the United States by 2034 and would cause 10.9 million Americans to lose health insurance coverage.[9][10][11][12][13][14] This number has been disputed by multiple GOP members, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump. The CBO later raised the estimated increase in the budget deficit to $2.8 trillion.[15] Many experts argue that the bill would create the largest upward transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in American history.[16][17][18][19] According to a Pew Research poll, 49% of Americans oppose the bill, 29% are in favor of the bill, and 21% are unsure.[20]
