THE INTERVIEW | Economist Raises Red Flags as House Approves Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”
- The House of Representatives passed the Trump-backed 'Big Beautiful Bill' on June 9, 2025, impacting Medicaid and defense spending nationwide.

- The legislation allocates $4.5 billion to the B-21 Raider bomber and $4.6 billion to Virginia Class submarines, while critics warn of Pentagon waste and cost overruns.

- These cuts are projected to disqualify approximately 116,000 Medicaid enrollees in five Greater Cincinnati districts alone, implying widespread regional and national health coverage losses.
