This BBB is a total disaster for people who need help the most. It requires people who earn the less pay for tax give away to people who need it less. Do not cut benefits to people who need help just to give more money to the rich and all of trump and his billionaire friends. Do not destroy America’s Democracy and safety nets by giving away public land, monuments, parks, territories, health care, eliminate public libraries, nutrition programs for vulnerable population, Elimination healthcare coverage for over 14 million people, eliminating funding for advancement of scientific grant and research programs, eliminating all federally supportive programs and services that safe guard the public health, penalize state funding and programs supportive of needed services under false pretenses of fraud, abuse and waste, penalize blue states and other services because political alignment is not in agreement with the administration’s belief system or does not agree with current stated politics. Retribution reduction in funding the Safety net for the public should not be eliminating policy determination and funding for all services. Funding the operation of the government must be for the best interest and safety of America regardless of political affiliation. SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY. SAVE AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS, SAVE OUR GOVERNMENTS, SAVE OUR LIVES., This budget in current form is SANCTION GENOCIDE. This budget bill is Legislation for the average person to DIE. Only the wealth will survive, even the kinship of wealthy people who live from pay check to pay check will die. They are not protected in this budget bill. Funding is eliminated for Resources which will keep them healthy, provide food, education, housing, protection for environmental disasters, postal services, internet access and a lot more. The average person’s life is put at risk because of this budget bill. Every Average Person is expendable, not important, not safe. Think about it and fight for your Life and the life of your children. American Democracy is for all of us regardless of policies or political beliefs. We must tolerate each other to survive. We must agree to disagree to save our environment and LIVE. We Must Work and Live Together,

Why call it beautiful when it’s ugly? Only the corrupt find anything good in this.

Only for searchability reasons. I agree, there’s nothing beautiful about it

Thank you for doing this. I think the way it’s written is a part of their strategy. It’s a ridiculous, insulting bill that is counting on the fact that no constituents will bother to read it.

Ellie, I don’t know how you do all that you do but I am grateful. Politics and bills can be so complicated at times. Thank you for breaking this down to a more understandable document. Did you do this same work for project 2025? I am convinced in my heart, have no proof, that The Heritage Foundation is fully behind Project 2025. Since the 80’s they’ve been setting this in motion. They finally found a man that gives no shits about morality or character and could be bought with money and jaded obedience. TACO became the man to help put their plan in place. It’s a very authoritarian system with white supremacy and limited rights for women. The Heritage Foundation is evil… in my opinion.

The big beautiful bill sounds kind of a big beautiful mess. Apparently it was not well written at all. The Senate is re writing it.
