Big and “beautiful” or big and “ugly,” Alabamians can hear both descriptions of President Donald Trump’s multitrillion dollar tax and spending bill coming from lawmakers.
“We’re just getting started,” said Sen. Katie Britt on X. “We’re working to make sure the American Dream is possible from coast to coast.” “The Republican s did pass the ‘ Big Ugly Bill ,’” said Rep. Terri Sewell on X.
“I voted no. It passed anyway.”“In general, what this bill does is take tax cuts that were enacted in President Trump’s first presidency and extend them,” said Dr. Benjamin Gross, an Associate Political Science Professor at Jacksonville State University.The Tax Policy Center projecting the bill will result in a $150 tax break for the lowest income group of Americans next year, a $1,750 tax cut for the middle income group, and a $10,950 tax cut for the top income group. Republicans praised the relief saying this will benefit all Americans, while Democrats worry it will primarily help the people already on top. “What frame am I putting around this photo?” Gross said. “Am I putting one of those craft-handed made ones out of wood or am I putting that very sleek, modern, iron frame, right? It’s the same photo. It’s just what frame am I putting around it?” Republicans also approved around $350 billion for national security, deportations, and creating a “Golden Dome” defensive system to cover the country. To help offset the cost of the bill, Republicans approved about $1.2 trillion in cuts to several initiatives, including food stamps and Medicaid.“Reduce Medicaid emergency payments for immigrants in the bill,” Gross said. “There is a nursing home staffing regulation that is adjusted in the bill, that changes the minimum staffing ratios at nursing homes. These things will save Medicaid money, but they change the way the program works.” Republicans said they are “rightsizing” programs like SNAP and Medicaid and rooting out fraud and waste.Newborn found alive, spent several days alone next to mom’s body after she died in apartment2 teen girls die after being struck by car while walking in Mobile CountyTeachers’ union reacts to $68M in federal funds for Alabama schools being under review
