Tired of winning!
“Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill,” officially titled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, is a sweeping tax and spending package that narrowly passed the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22, 2025, with a 215–214 vote. The legislation embodies many of former President Donald Trump’s second-term priorities and now heads to the Senate for consideration .

Key Provisions


Tax Reforms

Permanent Extension of 2017 Tax Cuts: The bill makes the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent. New Tax Deductions: Introduces deductions for tips, overtime pay, and car loan interest. Child Tax Credit: Increases the credit to $2,500 through 2028, then reverts to $2,000. MAGA Savings Accounts: Establishes accounts providing $1,000 per child for parents. SALT Deduction Cap: Raises the cap from $10,000 to $30,000. Remittance Tax: Imposes a 5% tax on remittances sent abroad. University Endowment Tax: Increases taxes on private university endowments. Debt Ceiling Increase: Raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion . 


Social Program Changes

Medicaid: Imposes work requirements, higher fees for recipients above the poverty line, and increased eligibility verification. SNAP (Food Stamps): Tightens eligibility criteria. Healthcare Restrictions: Prohibits Medicaid funding for children’s gender-affirming care and for nonprofits providing abortion services. Pharmacy Benefit Managers: Bans the use of spread pricing. Impact: The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would result in 8.6 million fewer people with health coverage and 3 million fewer SNAP recipients monthly . 


Defense and Border Security

Defense Spending: Allocates an additional $150 billion, focusing on unmanned drones, including kamikaze drones, unmanned aircraft systems, drone boats, and underwater drones. Border Security: Provides $70 billion, including $46.5 billion for border barriers, $5 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility improvements, $4.1 billion to hire additional Border Patrol and CBP officers, $2.7 billion to enhance border surveillance, $2 billion for CBP staff, and $1 billion for inspection technology . 


Education Reforms

Pell Grants: Increases eligibility requirements and introduces Workforce Pell Grants targeted at trade school students. Student Loans: Ends Federal Direct subsidized loans for undergraduate students. Regulatory Changes: Eliminates the Secretary of Education’s ability to regulate based on gainful employment . 


Political Dynamics

The bill’s passage followed intense negotiations within the Republican Party, with Speaker Mike Johnson leading efforts to unify the caucus. Fiscal conservatives expressed concerns over the projected $3.8 trillion increase in the federal deficit over the next decade. Democrats unanimously opposed the bill, criticizing it for favoring the wealthy and cutting essential social programs .
The legislation now moves to the Senate, where it is expected to face further scrutiny and potential amendments.

raise debt ceiling by 4 trillion?fed真的要哭了,巧妇难为无米之炊,国债又卖不出,印钱又通胀,不印钱美债就爆,普通老百姓也没收益,最后也只有亿万富翁的总统内阁以及他们的朋友爽了,你看最后你减这些有钱人得税,他们有想过救一下国债吗?no他们买了比特币或者股票甚至直接资金外逃。商人无祖国,指望减税让这些商人把制造业带回来只有maga相信了
