What’s In The “Big Beautiful Bill”
— OSZ (@OpenSourceZone) May 22, 2025
? Extends 2017 Tax Cuts
? No Tax In Overtime and Tips
? $1,000 newborn credit
? $2,500 child tax credit for families
? Raises state/local tax deduction cap
? Work requirements, For Medicaid
? Increased funding for border security…
After allowing time for the usual Republican grandstanding by Thomas Massie and the Freedom Caucus, House Republicans predictably passed the “one big, beautiful bill.” The Senate also unanimously passed the No Tax on Tips Act which is included in the House bill.
Note: I predicted that budget reconciliation would be used to do a border security/tax cuts package which would make good on Trump’s original promise to “Build the Wall.” I also said that there wouldn’t be a “war with Iran,” that activists would continue making fools of themselves, that Trump 2.0 would start off with a blizzard of executive orders and Trump’s Cabinet picks would be confirmed.
Nothing for the working-class and middle-class schmucks but the mopes in the suburbs of TX, IL, NY, CA, and NJ can write off up to $40K in property taxes on their McMansions on their Fed tax returns now instead of the previous $10K maximum. Oh yeah – people can write off the interest on their $1000/mo car loans and an increase in leases for drilling, mining and logging on public lands.
You did call Tom Massie a “Lolbertarian” before, which is not correct. He is solid on secure borders, nationalism, and has been an early and strong supporter of tariffs.
So you lied about Tom Massie once, and now you have done it again. Objecting to a bill that would add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years is not “grandstanding.”
Massie is the only conservative left in the House. All of the others have followed Trump into the left wing fever swamps. Conservatives always cared about the debt most of all. As Massie pointed out, we are already paying the bankers $500 billion a year in interest. This bill would drive it up over $5 trillion per year within 10 years. $5 trillion in interest alone.
This monstrosity will probably die in the Senate. Ron Johnson said they have the votes to stop it. But if it does pass the Senate, it will be without all those items on bordee security that you imagine Trump
actually wants.
It is no fun watching the country you live in going through death pains, even though you know it has to hapoen, and it is God’s will that it must die. But at least stop lying about people, especially what is actually the only decent American left in The House of Representatives.
Trump is running a big risk of a debt crisis.
Bonds are starting to jitter, first signs of a Crack in debt ?
40 trillion of federal debt is dangerous.
I think Trump is applying the right solutions at the wrong time. These policies should have been implemented decades ago, not now.
Any funding for the MIC?
A new golden age has begun for fourth world turd Amerikwa the Kwanstain.
Patriotism is the last refuge for a scoundrel.
Honk honk.
Just another Big Borrow and Spend Bill. George and all the Bush family will be proud.
