Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” was anything but beautiful for millions of Americans. It slashed funding for education, healthcare, and vital social programs, shifting resources away from students, the sick, and working-class families. In return, it delivered sweeping tax cuts for billionaires and poured billions into aggressive immigration enforcement—affecting not just undocumented individuals, but legal immigrants and citizens alike.
In the short term, the bill may stimulate the stock market and even crypto markets, as corporate profits rise and capital flows more freely. But the cost is steep: a national debt spike that could take nearly a decade to repair.
