Big Beautiful Bill

MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill is "just a tax break for billionaires."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest middle- and working-class tax cut in U.S. history. The President's legislation will put more than $10,000 a year back in the pockets of typical hardworking families. This is the most pro-growth, pro-worker, pro-family legislation ever crafted.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "takes from the poor to give to the rich."
FACT: Low-income workers stand to receive the largest percentage reduction in their tax liability. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest tax cut in history for working-and-middle class Americans.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "makes life more unaffordable."
FACT: The bill delivers bigger paychecks, expanding take-home pay by over $10,000 per year for a typical family.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "hurts low-income families."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill is the most pro-family legislation ever crafted. It will deliver bigger paychecks, giving more than a $10,000 boost annually to everyday families. We are also expanding Opportunity Zones, expanding childcare access, increasing the child tax credit, and creating newborn savings accounts.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "is just a handout to corporations."
FACT: This bill drives a Blue-Collar BOOM with tax relief for workers, support for small businesses, and investments in American manufacturing. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest middle- and working-class tax cut in U.S. history.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "leaves American workers behind."
FACT: This is the most pro-American worker bill in history. The One Big Beautiful Bill boosts pay for millionsand with no tax on tips or overtime, those working hourly and service jobs receive additional tax relief.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "hurts small businesses."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill will make the Trump Tax Cuts permanent, including the small business deductionhelping Main Street grow and hire. Failure to pass this legislation would result in a $4 trillion tax hike.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "kicks American families off Medicaid."
FACT: As the President has said numerous times, there will be no cuts to Medicaid. The One Big Beautiful Bill protects and strengthens Medicaid for those who rely on itpregnant women, children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income familieswhile eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. The One Big Beautiful Bill removes illegal aliens, enforces work requirements, and protects Medicaid for the truly vulnerable.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "cuts Medicare."
FACT: Medicare has not been touched in this bill absolutely nothing in the bill reduces spending on Medicare benefits. This legislation does not make a single cut to welfare programsit safeguards and protects these programs for all eligible Americans.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "will close rural hospitals."
FACT: Rural hospitals comprise just 7% of all hospital spending on Medicaid, illustrating that they have not benefited from the massive increase in waste, fraud, and abuse under the Biden administration. By strengthening Medicaid, we are making more resources available for vulnerable populations and safety net providers, like rural hospitals. We are expanding rural hospital protection, providing targeted funds for rural care, and giving states flexibility to support local providers.
MYTH: "People will literally die" from the One Big Beautiful Bill "and millions will be kicked off their healthcare."
FACT: This is one of the most egregious, deranged attacks from the Left peddling fear over the facts. The One Big Beautiful Bill protects eligible Americans on federal welfare including Medicaid. By strengthening the integrity of Medicaid by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, its resources can be refocused on providing better care for those whom the program was designed to serve: pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, low-income seniors, and other vulnerable low-income families.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "will hurt people with disabilities."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill protects and strengthens Medicaid for Americans with disabilities. Rest assured, those with disabilities receiving Medicaid will receive no loss or change in coverage.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "punishes vulnerable Americans with work requirements to receive their benefits."
FACT: Not true. The 20-hour weekly work requirement applies only to able-bodied adults without young children and promotes dignity, stability, and better health outcomes for families. The One Big Beautiful Bill restores the dignity of work with historically bipartisan work requirements for able-bodied Americans. We are implementing commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements with broad bipartisan support.
MYTH: "There's no fraud in Medicaid Republicans are just taking coverage away from vulnerable populations."
FACT: In the last 10 years, CMS admitted that improper payments for Medicaid have exceeded HALF A TRILLION dollars. In just the past year, taxpayers spent $56 billion on benefits for able-bodied adults abusing the systemand over a million illegal aliens are receiving free health care on the backs of taxpayers. The One Big Beautiful Bill removes illegal aliens, enacts work requirements for able-bodied adults, and protects Medicaid for the truly vulnerable.
MYTH: "SNAP work requirements are unnecessary."
FACT: Only 28% of able-bodied adults on SNAP work. The One Big Beautiful Bill promotes work, responsibility, and restores SNAP to serve the truly needy. SNAP enrollment remains high even in a strong economy, including millions of able-bodied adults who could work. In fact, almost three-quarters of able-bodied adults without dependents on SNAP have no earned income. The mission of the program has failed. SNAP was intended to be temporary help for those who encounter tough timeswe are strengthening this program to serve those who need it most.
MYTH: "Illegal aliens don't get federal benefits."
FACT: Illegals burden taxpayers with billions in costs for free health care and welfare benefits. The One Big Beautiful Bill ends Medicaid and SNAP fraud and ensures these programs serve only eligible Americans.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "doesn't actually end taxes on Social Security."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers historic tax relief to seniors, with a new tax deduction that, combined with other deductions, ensures the average Social Security beneficiary will pay zero taxes on Social Security.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "increases the deficit."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill reduces deficits by over $2 trillion by increasing economic growth and cutting waste, fraud, and abuse across government programs at an unprecedented rate. This legislation delivers historic levels of mandatory savings. President Trump's pro-growth economic formula will reduce the deficit, increase wages, deliver American jobs, and drive down the cost of living.
MYTH: "But the CBO says…."
FACT: The Crooked Budget Office has a terrible record with its predictions and hasn't earned the attention the media gives it. The CBO misreads the economic consequences of not extending the Trump Tax Cuts. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers real savings that will unleash our economy and prevent the largest tax hike in history, resulting in historic prosperity, while lowering the debt burden.
MYTH: "There's too much 'pork' in this bill."
FACT: There's no pork in the bill. Every single provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill is a campaign promise the American people elected President Trump to deliver. The only new spending in the bill is to secure the homeland of the United States and save American sovereignty which is fully paid for by increased visa fees on foreigners.
MYTH: "The One Big Beautiful Bill won't strengthen national security."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers on President Trump's Peace Through Strength agenda by funding the Golden Dome missile defense system and modernizing our military to prioritize lethality and readiness. It fully equips our war fighters with the resources they need while modernizing and revolutionizing our equipment and technology.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "helps 'Big Oil' and locks up U.S. energy resources."
FACT: Quite the opposite. It unleashes American energy, refills the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and repeals the Green New Scam policies. The One Big Beautiful Bill unleashes clean, American-made energy and will reduce the cost of living for Americans nationwide.
MYTH: "Manufacturing jobs will still go overseas."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers 100% expensing for new domestic factories, revitalizes Opportunity Zones, and incentivizes companies to keep jobs in America.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "neglects rural America."
FACT: This bill invests in rural communities, expands market access, and delivers historic support to farm families. The One Big Beautiful Bill provides the certainty America's farm families need to continue operating and producing the affordable, safe, and abundant supply of food, fuel, and fiber that our nation relies on.
MYTH: "SNAP is being gutted and cutting food stamps for families, causing them to go hungry."
FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill protects and strengthens SNAP. Right now, almost three-quarters of able-bodied adults without dependents on SNAP have no earned income and the fraud rate is high. The mission of the program has failed: SNAP was intended to be temporary help for those who encounter tough times. Now, it's become so bloated that it is leaving fewer resources for those who truly need help. We are committed to preserving SNAP for the truly needy.
MYTH: "Republicans are shutting Democrats out of the legislative process."
FACT: This is not a partisan billDemocrats shut themselves out by supporting higher taxes, open borders, and giveaways to illegal immigrants. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers on Republican promises to lower taxes, secure the border, cut spending, and put Americans first.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "border package is not necessary since President Trump has secured the border."
FACT: We must ensure that the invasion we witnessed as a nation under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris never happens again. The One Big Beautiful Bill's historic investment in our border security ensures we permanently secure our border and protect our homeland by finishing the border wall, hiring 10,000 new ICE officers, and funding efforts to stop the flow of fentanyl.

Yes that would be so awesome. Add in sending them to the countries they suddenly support (like Iran, Syria, Palestine) to see if they would let them talk the same way they do here, find out if it is just a "small minority" that attacks gays or mistreats women, or if women are treated the same as blacks were/are treated here in the US as Whoopi said (where she dismissed that here it was individuals who did the worst things and in Iran it is the government doing them.

Besides the obvious change in the value of a dollar, homes also got a lot bigger on average.

Average home size by decade:

  • 1920: 1,048 square feet
  • 1930: 1,129
  • 1940: 1,177
  • 1950: 983
  • 1960: 1,289
  • 1970: 1,500
  • 1980: 1,740
  • 1990: 2,080
  • 2000: 2,266
  • 2010: 2,392
  • 2014: 2,657




While true it does not account for the increase in everything else on that list or even the change in price of the houses from that time (even at the larger size) to now.

Cutting revenue at the same time you increase spending, and yet Repubs want to say it won't add so much to the deficit. You guys should listen yo yourselves. If you have an alternate projection, let's hear it, but the CBO has stuck to the same rules for a long time, and generally is in the ballpark most times.
OK, so tell me:

What is the basis for the CBO's estimates and predictions? Keep in mind that the CBO's track record is ... not good.





The CBO is commonly wildly wrong on revenue projections, for example.

Ask yourself why the AP, PBS and mainstream media are in such a hurry to use the CBO as a source.

There should be a rule that if your family - you and your direct descendants - own and paid tax on a property for over 100 years, you should be exempted from paying tax as long as the land is kept in your family.

It is bull**** that Indians get that privilege but legacy Americans whose families have been here for hundreds of years do not. People lose their family farms bcs they can't keep up with increasing property taxes or estate tax.

I'm tempted to suggest the Queers for Palestine crowd should be sent to Gaza or Judea & Samaria (aka West Bank) but as stupid as they are I don't want to see them thrown off a building or otherwise murdered.

I cant believe Musk believes the CBO. Nobody else does
I guess Musk is brilliant for SpaceX, Tesla, and others. Brilliant for DOGE. But an idiot for believing CBO.

Cherry pick much?

The Bill is a monstrosity. There is no way you can be serious about cutting the deficit, balancing the budget and passing this bill. It is a shell game. DOGE was never about reducing spending, that is how he sold it to you. It was about getting rid of programs he doesn't like, restrictions on businesses he wants and a vendetta against those he doesn't like.

It was not and is not about lowering spending, Trump has NEVER lowered spending in his life. It was what you and the others on this Board wanted to hear to get your support.
CBO is a joke, for anything other than political spin. It uses static calculations, arbitrary rules. For example, the Trump Tax cuts expire this year. For that reason, CBO rules require them to establish the reversion (higher) tax rates as the benchmark for 2025. So any bill passed in 2025 "extending" those rates or making them permanent is, by CBO definition, a tax cut (even though all we're doing is extending current tax rates.) and on and on and on....

Really soft ground you're fighting on here.


So, it won't add to the deficit?
Debatable. CBO is real, but not realistic. The two parties agreed upon CBO rules for how bills were to be scored, but the rules do not reflect reality. If properly done (and these do appear to be so), tax cuts typically do stimulate economic activity and generate greater revenues, but CBO rules require any tax cut (even extension of existing rates scheduled to expire) as a static loss of revenue with no calculation of dynamic impact. Same for regulatory reforms. They always do spur growth, yet they are not factored at all into the calculations. Since most of the expenses on illegal alien programs are not budgeted, it's not possible to estimate savings from obvious things like no longer putting them up in $500/night hotels in NYC. And on and on and on. So the OBBB will generate more revenues than the CBO projects, and it will save more $$$ than the CBO projects, which means the deficits will be lower. Not eliminated. LOWER.

The OBBB is a lot more than just a budget. It's the Trump agenda. It funds the priorities he ran on, specifically border enforcement. it also contains all of his economic policies. For parliamentary rules reasons, it does not contain the recissions on the things DOGE has identified to cut. They are being prepared in several separate bills, some of which have already been filed in the House.

Does the OBBB balance the budget? Nope.
Is balancing the budget in a single cycle a reasonable expectation? Nope
Is this budget an improvement over the baseline? Yep. It will halve the deficit over a ten year period (to the historical average)
Would I prefer to do more, faster? Yep.
Would I vote for the OBBB as a positive step in the right direction? Yep.
Would I vote for the OBBB as a positive step in the right direction, even though it's less than Id' prefer, and come back next week/month/year and work for more cuts & growth? Yep. That's what pragmatic people do.

Don't make perfect the enemy of the good. Trump has told us what the plan is - to grow our way back toward fiscal stability (not balance....) with DOGE cuts, plus spending cuts, plus additional revenues from 3-5% growth. The BBB is first & foremost an effort to get the package in place to stimulate the growth. take the win. Lock it in. Move on to the next battle.

It's an eminently reasonable plan that only the fringes could get terribly upset about.

The big variable is interest rates. Each 1-point cut reduces the deficit by $300b. (vs a 2025 deficit of $1.9T) That explains why Trump is throwing bricks at Powell...... A 3-point cut halves the current deficit.

Excellent analysis.

Regarding the bill, this administration's instincts have been excellent. I'm willing to give it a chance, since growth is a real and valid strategy.

Our monetary system is debt based. There is no paying it down as that will shrink the money supply,that is fact. That is the real reason no one advocates seriously for that. I was hoping we could tread water, but I'm good with giving the pro growth a try.

With tax cuts and deregulation, paying the debt down need not shrink the money supply beyond what is healthy (too much money is the definition of inflation) because if the govt has less debt it could free up capital markets. That capital could then go to corporations & entrepreneurs sparking more economic growth. It could be a win-win situation.
