Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is only a big beautiful gift to the wealthy. To America’s poor it is one big ugly grift.

The GOP bill cuts food aid to the elderly, disabled and low-income families while feeding more money to the rich. The rich get richer and the poor get stabbed in the back.

This thing is not exactly a fiscally conservative bill. The CBO’s initial estimates found that the package’s tax measures would increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion over a decade, while other provisions would cut nearly $1 trillion in federal support for Medicaid and food stamps over that period.

Anything goes in this whatever-Trump-wants-Trump-gets Trump oligarchy.

Excerpts from the Big Beautiful Bill story:

Billions in cuts to federal food assistance are looming as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a major tax and spending package that would slash federal spending on domestic programs to extend tax cuts passed during President Donald Trump’s first term. U.S. House Republicans passed the package in a 215-214 vote, and it’s now before the Senate.

Cuts to SNAP would affect residents of every state in all types of communities, but advocates fear the fallout could especially hit rural people, who are more dependent on food stamps, the largest anti-hunger program in the nation.

The legislation that passed the House would cut food assistance by an estimated $300 billion, according to the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. One key provision of the bill would expand work requirements to include people between 55 and 64 years old and those with children aged 7 or older. It would also tighten rules for counties with high unemployment rates.
