The 'Big Booty full Bill' Is an Economic IED

You can always count on Donald Trump and Mike Johnson to deliver — if by "deliver" you mean setting fire to your kitchen while telling you they're cooking you a steak. Their latest legislative mutant hellspawn Frankenstein is the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” a name so dumb it sounds like it was focus-grouped by a meth lab in the Florida panhandle.

The sales pitch? It’s Trumpian Kabuki theater: tax cuts for the “forgotten man,” a bold economic vision, America First. The reality? It’s a con. A multi-trillion-dollar, gold-plated, diamond-encrusted reaming for working-class Americans disguised as populism.

Who Gets Benefits? Spoiler: Not You.

Let’s dispense with the lies and the Fox News spin. This $5.7 trillion boondoggle isn’t about you or your family. It’s about Trump’s buddies in Silicon Valley and Mar-a-Lago getting another yacht. It’s about Elon Musk doing a celebratory keg stand on the grave of your tax refund. It’s about billionaires paying less and blaming the deficit on some poor kid in Appalachia who eats with the help of SNAP.

And it gets worse. While corporations are busy dancing on their quarterly earnings calls, the bill guts Medicaid and Medicare — the very programs that prop up the health and dignity of millions of Americans, especially in the red-state, rural counties where MAGA voters live and vote and die.cient deterrent for corporations who are bad actors.
