President Trump’s sweeping “Big Beautiful Bill,” now headed to his desk after narrow congressional passage, cements the 2017 tax cuts, restores business write-offs, raises the SALT deduction cap to $40k, and introduces temporary tip/overtime exemptions. It boosts funding for border control and defense while slashing Medicaid, SNAP, affordable‑care subsidies, clean‑energy credits, and EV incentives. Wealthy individuals, corporations, and certain workers gain, but low‑income Americans, hospitals, clean‑energy firms, and future generations notably younger people stand to lose, facing up to 11 million more uninsured and a $3+ trillion debt spike. Critics frame it as a regressive transfer of wealth that could undermine climate goals and fiscal stability. (PC: The White House)
