The cost of these cuts will trickle down in ways big and small . Its impact on poorer people is undeniable and immoral and dangerous.

What’s in this thing ?? Check it out

Americans would hate Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill if they knew what was in it, Annie Lowrey writes. https://theatln.tc/c44O4Sxk

If enacted, the bill “would be among the most consequential pieces of legislation in recent memory,” Annie Lowrey writes. “It would cost more than Trump’s COVID-rescue bill, Joe Biden’s COVID-rescue bill, Trump’s first-term tax cut, George W. Bush’s tax cut, or Barack Obama’s stimulus package; it would dwarf the Affordable Care Act in its budget impact. Still, two in three Americans say they have heard little or nothing about it.”

“The legislation is, first and foremost, a tax cut,” Lowrey explains, including a tax break for high-income households in high-tax states and an exemption for mammoth inheritances from taxation. “To pay for these tax cuts for rich people, the bill destabilizes the American medical system, guts anti-hunger programs, hikes utility costs, and makes education more expensive.”

“On the campaign trail, Trump promised to get rid of taxes on Social Security benefits. The bill does not do that,” Lowrey adds. The bill is also likely to cut billions of dollars in Medicare funding, “though Trump swore he would not touch the program.” And as a result of the legislation, “millions of Americans will forgo medical care,” Lowrey writes. “Each year, the legislation would kill 51,000 Americans, researchers at Yale have estimated.”
