Kill the Big “Beautiful” Budget Bill today! 🧨 FINAL VERDICT: This Bill Is a Trojan Horse for Corporate Power 🧨 After digging into the 1,126-page “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” here’s the truth: 📜 It’s not just a budget bill—it’s a stealth rewrite of U.S. policy that rewards corporations and punishes working families. ⸻ 🧠 WHO REALLY WINS? 👉 Follow the money and power… 💣 Defense Contractors $250B+ in no-bid deals Waste, no oversight 🛢 Big Ag & Oil Tax breaks, deregulation Pollution, higher prices 💸 Wealthy Americans Estate tax loopholes, permanent cuts Shrinking safety nets 🧑‍⚖️ Red-State Politicians Control over SNAP/Medicaid Unequal, patchwork benefits 🏛 Lobbyists Rollback of regulations 🚨 5 MOST DAMAGING “HIDDEN” ITEMS: 1️⃣ Debt Ceiling Games (Sec. 113001) ➡ Prioritizes Wall Street over Social Security in a crisis. 2️⃣ EPA Data Blackout (Sec. 80152) ➡ Cuts pollution/climate tracking—lawsuits get harder. 3️⃣ Privatized Food Safety (Sec. 100007) ➡ USDA inspectors replaced by industry “self-checks.” Scary. 4️⃣ Tax Scam Free-for-All (Sec. 112209) ➡ IRS blocked from policing predatory tax services. 5️⃣ Medicaid Trap (Sec. 44108) ➡ Lose coverage if you don’t reapply every 6 months. Bureaucratic nightmare. ⸻ 🎭 THE SLEIGHT OF HAND ✔ “No tax on tips!” sounds great, ✖ But it’s hiding: • 💰 Deregulation giveaways • 🏛 Handcuffs on future EPA/IRS action • 🔁 Medicaid/SNAP red tape that quietly kicks people off ⸻ ⚖️ LEGAL TIME BOMBS 📉 Guts judicial review 🧹 Hides deregulation inside “spending” 📊 Blocks agencies from even collecting data to act later ⸻ 🔥 RIGHTS BEING ERODED 🚑 Right to health → SNAP & Medicaid sabotaged 🌎 Right to clean air → EPA defunded 🔐 Right to privacy → Mandatory cross-state data sharing 💸 Right to fair taxes → IRS handcuffed, rich protected ⸻ 📉 BOTTOM LINE This bill: • Shifts wealth upward 💵 • Dismantles protections ⚠ • Buries traps for future fights ⏳ ⸻ 🎓 Final Grade: ✅ A+ for corporate lobbyists ❌ F for working families
