Letter to the Editor: Big Beautiful Bill Cuts Taxes for the Rich, Takes It From the Poor

UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – The bill cuts Medicaid for 17 million Americans and food assistance by $287 billion over a decade while expanding immigration enforcement and increasing the deficit, analysts say.

  • On July 4th, President Donald Trump signed the `Big Beautiful Bill`, which cuts taxes for the wealthy and reduces social services for millions, fueling long-term economic and social impacts.
  • Making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 permanent, the bill funds itself by slashing roughly $1 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP over 10 years.
  • The House approved the measure 218-214, with every Democrat and only two Republicans opposing, showing a narrow margin and significant impact estimates.
  • On Thursday, July 17, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the House floor a `crime scene` and warned `People will die`, highlighting fierce opposition and protests.
  • Projections indicate the bill will ravage America’s social safety net, environment, and climate, nearly triple the federal deficit and fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the scale of the 16th largest military budget worldwide.
