One Big Beautiful Bill..the hype, the lies and the truth

Here are five reasons why President Donald J. Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill is a generational opportunity to deliver the long-term changes Americans voted for:

1. It’s the largest tax cut in American history.

• It delivers PERMANENT tax cuts and bigger paychecks. This means an extra $5,000 in Americans’ pockets with a DOUBLE-DIGIT percent DECREASE to their tax bills. Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 will pay around 15% less in taxes.
• It includes NO TAX ON TIPS and NO TAX ON OVERTIME. This makes good on two of President Trump’s cornerstone campaign promises and benefits hardworking Americans where they need it the most — their paychecks.
• It provides historic tax relief to Social Security recipients. It slashes taxes on seniors’ Social Security benefits.

2. It protects Medicaid for Americans by removing 1.4 million illegals.

• It kicks illegal immigrants off taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits. This bill eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are gaming the system.

3. It makes President Trump’s border security permanent.

• It funds President Trump’s border wall. As a result, 701 miles of primary wall, 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers will be constructed — along with cutting-edge technology that will secure our homeland for generations to come.
• It boosts Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines. It will empower border officials with adequate resources to finally carry out their core mission by funding at least one million annual removals and hiring 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.

4. It finally modernizes air traffic control.

• It fulfills President Trump’s plan to completely overhaul the systems that keep Americans flying safely and efficiently. This will allow President Trump to update our air traffic control systems and act where the Biden Administration failed (despite repeated warnings).

5. It ends taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors.

The One, Big, Beautiful Bill restores sanity to government. It prohibits Medicaid funding for gender transition procedures for minors.

It’s gonna be ugly for some…

President Trump’s tax plans have faced a bumpy road in recent days, with Republican leaders aiming for a vote in the House of Representatives before Memorial Day, even as trillion-dollar pieces of the bill remain up in the air.

A significant boost came on Sunday evening, when the bill won approval from a key congressional committee, an unexpected victory after it hit a hurdle at a House budget hearing on Friday. Four conservative Republicans who had joined with Democrats to stall the bill decided to greenlight it while they kept up pressure for changes.It’s all part of a grinding process, with more tax amendments likely to address concerns about the level of state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Other pieces of the bill are also under close review, such as the size and shape of Medicaid trims being considered.

Yet the overall framework of the tax plan is getting clearer by the day, with a package slowly moving forward that will cost trillions of dollars and usher in an array of changes from how taxes are paid by households to new business-world provisions.
