Here's What’s in the GOP's ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
- The U.S. House of Representatives passed the over 1,000-page 'One Big Beautiful Bill' tax and spending package on May 22, 2025.
- Supported by President Donald Trump, this extensive legislation includes tax relief measures, reductions in government spending, and financing to enhance border security, reflecting several of Trump's campaign commitments.
- Key provisions include eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits, expanding child tax credits, allocating $46.5 billion for border wall construction, and cutting over $700 billion from Medicaid and $300 billion from SNAP.
- The bill passed narrowly with a 215 to 214 vote, with opponents warning it would cut benefits for millions, including 13.7 million Medicaid enrollees and reduce free school lunch access for 100,290 children in Alabama's 7th District.
- Now headed to the Senate, the bill's financial impact is projected to add approximately $3.8 trillion to federal debt over a decade and may face further amendments amid strong partisan debate.
