Trump's Big Bill Is Raw Deal for Most Americans
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, JUL 16 – The law cuts Medicaid and SNAP by 12% and 20%, respectively, while boosting military spending by $150 billion and increasing Immigration and Customs Enforcement funding by $75 billion.
- Earlier this month, Congress passed the Big Beautiful Bill, a sweeping law that reshapes US domestic policy including tax cuts, social program cuts, and increased military funding.
- By enshrining the 2017 tax cuts, Trump drives the belief that wealth will trickle down to middle and working classes.
- Nearly 90% of water infrastructure funding is cut, removing over $2 billion from Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds.
- Food banks are set to face another surge of people in need once the SNAP rolls are purged later this year.
- In the long term, Yale analysis finds the poorest 20% will lose $700 annually, while the top 1% gains $30,000, reflecting significant fiscal and equity impacts.

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated GAWT will increase the current $1.9 trillion deficit by $3 trillion over the next 10 years, …

Now, the Trump administration and its congressional allies have found…
