If most of this stuff is in the bill, then the WH is not doing a very good job selling it.

I think the golden Dome is a boondoggle. Unless we start understanding how to intercept and make hypersonic weapons, this is all just noise.

We can’t trust our current defense industry to make weapons that are suitable for modern warfare.

Good list. BBB is not the best , but it is the best that can pass the morons who compose our congress. It needs to pass, not for any cost cutting , but for the boost to production and GDP. We have passed the point cost cutting fixes anything. Our Debt to GDP ratio shows that. The only solution lies in increasing the GDP side of the equation. We must keep the bond markets from imploding as that would take us down. Listen to recent Scott Bessent interviews.

Here are 50 reasons why President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is the best chance in a generation to pass critical reforms for which Americans voted:

1. It delivers the largest tax cut in American history. This means an extra $5,000 in Americans’ pockets with a DOUBLE-DIGIT percent DECREASE to their tax bills. Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 will pay around 15% less in taxes.
2. It makes the Trump Tax Cuts permanent, preventing the largest tax increase ever. If the bill doesn’t pass, Americans will see the largest tax increase in history.
3. It raises Americans’ take-home pay by as much as $13,300 and wages by as much as $11,600.
4. It reverses the spending curse plaguing Washington, D.C. The bill delivers the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years, with $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings — the largest single reduction in mandatory spending in our country’s history.
5. It delivers NO TAX ON TIPS and NO TAX ON OVERTIME. This makes good on two of President Trump’s cornerstone campaign promises and will benefit hardworking Americans where they need it the most — their paychecks.
6. It provides historic tax cuts for seniors.
7. It finishes President Trump’s border wall. As a result, 701 miles of primary wall, 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers will be constructed.
8. It boosts Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines with the largest border security investment in history. This means funding to hire 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents to detain and deport at least one million illegal immigrants annually.
9. It increases the child tax credit to $2,500 per family.
10. It protects Medicaid for Americans who truly need it. This bill eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are gaming the system.
11. It implements popular work requirements for able-bodied Americans receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. Through commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements, the One Big Beautiful Bill lifts Americans up to find a better quality of life through the dignity of work.
12. It eliminates hundreds of billions of dollars in Green New Scam tax credits. The legislation immediately stops credits from flowing to China, saving taxpayers $500+ billion every year.
13. It reverses electric vehicle mandates that let radical climate activists set the standards for American energy.
14. It ends Biden’s war on American energy. The bill finally unleashes American energy dominance by opening federal lands and waters to oil, gas, coal, geothermal, and mineral leasing.
15. It streamlines onerous permitting processes so America can get building again.
16. It refills the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to safeguard America’s energy security.
17. It repeals and rescinds every “green” corporate welfare subsidy in Democrats’ so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”
18. It stops illegal immigrants from receiving tax credits and taxes remittances sent to foreign countries.
19. It supports small businesses by increasing the Section 199A deduction to 23% — promoting the growth and success of Main Street.
20. It incentivizes MADE IN AMERICA. The bill rewards companies that build their products in America with lower taxes — and allows Americans who buy an American-made vehicle to fully deduct their auto loan interest.
21. It creates new Trump Savings Accounts for newborns — allowing children across America to experience the miracle of compounded growth.
22. It expands access to childcare for hardworking American families.
23. It provides a historic increase in funding for the U.S. Coast Guard. This will help block illegal drugs and migrants from entering our country, protect our sovereignty in the Arctic, and promote our national security.
24. It supports building new factories to grow domestic business operations. The bill renews 100% immediate expensing and interest deductions, increases the small business deduction, and establishes 100% immediate expensing for equipment and machinery.
25. It helps American farmers, producers, and ranchers compete and sell products in foreign markets. The bill makes sure American farmers aren’t crowded out by foreign imports in liquid fuel production markets.
26. It holds woke, elitist universities accountable by increasing the endowment tax on large universities.
27. It protects hardworking taxpayers by canceling Biden’s illegal and unfair student loan bailouts.
28. It ends taxpayer-funded sex changes. It reverses the Biden-era mandate that Medicaid cover so-called “gender transition” procedures — ending the taxpayer-funded chemical castration and mutilation of American children.
29. It’s a once-in-a-generation chance to revolutionize our nation’s defense capabilities and protect the homeland against new threats by funding President Trump’s Golden Dome.
30. It enhances the capacity of America’s naval fleet. The bill provides billions of dollars to revitalize America’s shipbuilding and maritime industrial base.
31. It modernizes air traffic control — fulfilling President Trump’s plan to completely overhaul the systems that keep Americans flying safely and efficiently.
32. It strengthens SNAP benefits. The legislation requires states to contribute a greater portion of the cost of administering benefits, thereby controlling costs, and closes the excessively broad loopholes for work requirements.
33. It implements critical program integrity and cost containment provisions in Medicaid to strengthen it for future generations. These include removing deceased individuals from the program and limiting retroactive coverage from three months to one month prior to enrollment.
34. It safeguards Second Amendment rights by removing tax and registration requirements for firearm silencers and eliminating silencers from the National Firearms Act.
35. It provides critical disaster recovery funding to farmers, producers, and ranchers.
36. It provides funding to rebuild America’s military — including $9+ billion to improve quality of life for our servicemembers, $20+ billion to bolster U.S. munitions production, and $12+ billion to modernize our nuclear arsenal.
37. It expands health savings accounts to give Americans greater choice and flexibility in how they spend their money.
38. It gives $10,000 bonuses annually over the next four years to Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines.
39. It incentivizes scholarships that empower American families and students to choose the education that best fits their needs.
40. It repeals Democrats’ insane attack on the gig economy — ending the requirement that Venmo, PayPal, and other gig transactions over $600 be reported to the IRS.
41. It reforms and streamlines the federal student loan program to drive down tuition costs and simplify repayment plans. This includes reasonable limits on amounts students can borrow.
42. It strengthens accountability for students and taxpayers on federal student loans. The bill imposes “skin in the game” requirements to hold universities financially accountable to the government on defaulted federal student loans.
43. It implements critical reforms to Pell Grants to make sure they prioritize students who truly need financial assistance while promoting completion. The legislation allows grants to be used for short-term, high-quality workforce training programs to support Americans who want to learn a trade instead of the traditional four-year colleges.
44. It increases timber sales on federal lands. This means an increase in timber production and improvement to forest management — improving the resilience of timber and saving billions on future wildfire suppression costs.
45. It authorizes the sale of expanded spectrum MHz to strengthen rural broadband and secure America’s technological dominance in AI and other emerging technologies.
46. It creates permanent fees that illegal immigrants must pay for their applications so American taxpayers aren’t saddled with covering these costs. These fees will bring in over $77 billion to cover adjudication costs and fund immigration processes and enforcement actions.
47. It protects family farmers. The bill prevents the greedy death tax from hitting two million family-owned farms who would otherwise see their exemptions cut in half and cuts taxes on farmers by over $10 billion.
48. It ends abusive financing practices in Medicaid by freezing existing provider taxes and prohibiting new provider taxes. This ensures states cannot improperly increase the federal government’s cost-share of a state Medicaid program at the expense of taxpayers.
49. It reins in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy — with minimal accountability or oversight — that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by the so-called “elites.”
50. It rolls back harmful Biden-era regulations that increase cost and administrative burdens with limited flexibility for states. These burdensome regulations, such as federal staffing mandates at nursing homes, lead to closures, reduced access to care, and increased costs, particularly in areas already overwhelmed by labor

7. Deporting 1 million illegal immigrants per year — no more catch and release. [entirely theoretical]

8. Builds the wall—finishes it — 701 miles of serious border protection. Massive!

9. 10,000 new ICE agents — law and order at the border. Huge!

“The new budget includes over $160 billion for immigration enforcement, with approximately $45 billion specifically allocated for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention operations. This represents a significant increase in funding for ICE compared to previous years.”

$160 billion is about 1/5th of the bloated DOD budget!

Frankly, I think that cost is insanely high.

$115 billion/18.6 million illegals not yet caught = $6,182 each.

$45 billion/200,000 detained + 184,889 tracked illegals = $76,937 each.

As I have pointed out several times, simply changing a few words in one paragraph of one US Code, that change being the sole responsibility of the POTUS as stated in that Code itself OR the simple enforcement of another long existing Code would solve the illegals problem in very short order by quickly IDing most all of them and by punishing with prison time those who hired, transported, or harbored/sheltered them. 

However, to quickly remove many millions of illegals would seriously damage the US economy and because the pols don’t want that and the Chambers of Commerce don’t either, that route isn’t taken. Instead, they raid Home Depot parking lots (see below).

So, just like the judicial coup that could be almost totally nipped in the bud by simply ENFORCING an EXISTING rule and requirement, this is yet another FARCE.

New NICE data reveals a stark reality—nearly 99% of the 18.6M illegal aliens in the U.S. continue to roam free, even 120 days into the Trump administration. Despite a 21% increase in ICE detainees. Only 1.26% are detained or tracked (49,005 in facilities, 184,899 enrolled in GPS monitoring). Even if Congress quadrupled ICE detention beds to 200k via reconciliation, it would only raise that to 2.1%.

Todd Lyons is doing all he can, but resource constraints are the core issue. Bafflingly, with WH approval, House Republicans chose to go $30B below the $110B ICE could have received—resulting in a 100k bed total.

When the money hits, WH/DHS must allow Todd and co. to go beyond criminal aliens—600k are roaming free—but the have a non-detained docket nearing 8M, and 1.4M final orders of removal. Final orders must be prioritized alongside criminals, setting a 2M mass deportation floor.

NICE Pres. RJ Hauman: ‘Congress is inching closer to a historic investment, but the bed total, tracking, and criminality prioritization won’t make a dent in a 18.6M population. We need a massive shift to deliver on a clear electoral mandate.’

Everyone should take a look at Charlie’s list. He took the time to succinctly show us what is in the BBB. What a patriot, MAGA man.

Big and Beautiful Bill; and the biggest effect will be the end of CRs and getting a real budget; one sponsored by representatives instead of corporate lawyers. Defunding agencies and departments. A CR is due 9/2025?? A good shut down to take the time for a ‘real budget’ to emerge; free of waste, and over expenditure! The deficit will be history, the gold standard will have US back on firm ground and money in our pockets.

A Budget; constitutionally sound, easily understood by a seventh grader and really explained in school/civics. ‘Earning a living’ becoming a reality.

Following the Constitution the expenditures will be for Military and commerce. The raising of children will be back in parents hands.

God Help US

Economically sound, ‘family’ back in the frame, merit system in place once again, safe borders, legal elections, free individual lives, 2nd intact, Constitution in working order……..

The BBB represents such an historic shift in power away from government back to the average American, that if the Deep State contrives to successfully steal the mid-terms, expect the Democrats to prioritize impeaching Trump for the third time.

This level of empowerment of the working class is to the Democrats as Jenny Craig is to Michael Moore, War and Peace (in Russian) to AOC, an AA meeting to Hunter Biden, a written copy of the Constitution to half the judges in this country! They will try to destroy the President, for the umpteenth time, for having the temerity of actually meaning all those promises he made.

I mean, what is this world coming to!

It’s 3 am….

The White House would be celebrating gay pride month and lit up at night with rainbow colors stolen from God! Veterans get a day gays get a month! Not having to see that or go through a whole month of gays celebrating their perverse behavior is reason enough to support President Trump! JMO

Garbage post. If you split it into different bills, all but one would need 60 votes in the senate. Dead On Arrival.
All that other spending and stuff you are talking about is from the discretionary spending, which this bill legally can not deal with. This bill deals with the mandatory spending. Watch the video before commenting on it next time.
And this bill hasn’t existed for a year, Johnson has been working on it for 14 months because it takes forever to wrangle the votes of a slim majority.

You obviously didn’t listen to the above video/discussion. Get lost, ignorant

So many lies.. The alligator emoji army has been unleashed. LOL. 🧟🐊

Far far better than you all have tried and failed to upend President Trump. He will not fail because God will neither be mocked nor denied.

Trump should and could have led and structured a clean maga bill (and a plan to balance the budget!!)

Perhaps you mean this Trump?

You’re talking budget fixes not the BBB; the budget fixes will come 9/2025 with a ‘real budget’, not a CR; a CR keeps everything status quo; a constitutional backed budget will defund agencies and departments, gold standard to get US on terra firma and working along with the BBB it’s a win win situation for US.

Real money, real jobs, real schools, real groceries American grown, real medicine, real stock market, real responsibility, real borders………..and the reality of a sovereign wealthy country starts with Our Constitution being followed to a tee, legal elections, AND a budget.

At the end of the day you have to convince enough people. You might be able to do some of that with threats, but probably not enough to ensure passage. There isn’t a MAGA majority in either house. You aren’t going to magically primary or defeat enough in 2026 to get there either.

Let the Feds roll out AI all over the place – 10 YEARS, your bank, your phone, your mail, McDonalds apps, anything you deal with in daily life can be AI’d….using YOUR money and taxes and federal credit card to do it to you…

Endorse this – heard him on radio yesterday presenting the case. Essentially should convince anybody that the “BBB” is a must and time to stop the prevaricating.

Please specify, and please show your math, how this bill increases debt. Please also be sure to include the determined variable of tariff revenue into your equation.

Or, bug off with your bs declarations.

Thanks.

Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller explain the inconsistencies and convolution of CBO figures starting at 9:50 in the video.

I understand your point and agree with you, but the bad math is coming from CBO. It took me a while to see this.

You need to watch the video again. Stephen Miller explained the math the CBO is using to score the bill. It’s nutty.

This is a case where “math” is being misused by government weenies. Critical thinking requires that you don’t just say “they used math” but that you evaluate how they applied it.

Without a legally binding ‘Budget’ voted into law they can use CRs, Reprograming Authority , diversion of any available funds – SS, Medicare included – budget reconciliation, AND every maneuver to carry a gigantic deficit.
They can control money they don’t have, spend willy nilly, have travel junkets, glorious vacations, very little work, jet travel, even meals without a legally binding Budget!!
Why do you think Congress hasn’t written nor passed a ‘balanced budget’ for decades??

But it can modify AUTHORITY within the BILLS and Laws of both types of spending.

It can remove dead budget lines.

It can curtail use of Government benefit Funds as sources of money “to be borrowed”.

The President’s Team can discuss how they plan to some sort or incremental or spiral process to improve the process of authorizing FEDERAL spending.

Don’t bore me with limits or “what I don’t understand”. There is still too much left unsaid to take the leap off the cliff into trust the plan. Just explain it, even in bullet point form of some sort.

I beg to differ with you:

“”SEC. 20002. ENHANCEMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE RESOURCES FOR
             SHIPBUILDING.

   In addition to amounts otherwise available, there are appropriated
to the Secretary of Defense for fiscal year 2025, out of any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to remain available until
September 30, 2029–”

So yes, I agree that appropriation bills must be passed but BBB contains a number of what could be called “earmarks”.

Regardless of what “some suggest”, there’s probably 25 votes in the House and if lucky 7 in the Senate for debt reduction.

The question is, why does the U.S. government issue bonds? Supposedly, there are several reasons claimed, but they are all bogus: 
To finance its operations and cover budget deficits. 
To raise capital for public projects and infrastructure.
To manage monetary policy and interest rates.
To provide a safe investment option for individuals and institutions.

The sovereign U.S. government can print, that is, spend all the money it wants without selling bonds and paying interest. It does not need money to cover the budget deficit or raise capital or provide investment options for anyone. The government is a creator of money; it is not a necessary borrower of money. So, why does it sell bonds, i.e., sell debt?

It sells bonds in order to transfer our, the taxpayers’, money to investors by way of interest. Interest is paid exponentially, and thereby, a contributor to the money supply. It creates inflation always by its very nature.

The public does not know this, and the elite who run government and the media will not tell them this. The rich keep getting richer, and the worker falls farther behind, as they are parasitically ripped off and bled of their wealth. It never changes.

‘If we don’t do something to reduce spending, we will be past the point of no return in a debt-interest death spiral. ‘

Correction:

We are already past the point of no return.

And according to some, this is all by design, nudged along by veiled powers who saw decades ago that the US decline was unstoppable and decided to steer it instead.

Toward an end state preserving their position.

Who might those powers be? Cui Bono.

When did they start steering it? Before 9/11, which now appears to be a pivot they executed to start the surveillance state among other things.

Losers for sure; if they don’t know the difference in reconciliation & appropriation bills, they have NO BUSINESS representing ANY Americans

It’s a reconciliation bill…not an appropriations bill.
https://waysandmeans.house.gov/2025reconciliation/

It’s not in the bill.

If its there, its because Biden depleted our military to a dangerous low and President Trump knows just how vulnerable we truly are to the likes of China.

‘Why does the military need $1 trillion ? Why? Why is no one asking this very basic question?’

What is that, about 3-4% of GDP?

That would make it less than 1/5 the spending on “healthcare” (20% of GDP).

The very basic question is “what is the national security strategy of the United States” and from that “what is the national defense strategy to implement that and in turn what is the defense capability required”.

Different strategies imply different defense requirements and resources.
