One Big Beautiful Bill Becomes One Big Beautiful Law on Independence Day
“Our country is going to be a rocket ship economically!”
President Donald Trump triumphantly signed his big, beautiful bill into law during a White House ceremony on the Fourth of July, just as he had anticipated.
The event began with a military flyover by fighter jets, including F-22s and F-35s, as well as B-2 bombers — reportedly the same B-2s that participated in Operation Midnight Hammer two weeks ago.
In remarks ahead of the signing, Trump thanked all of the lawmakers who helped carry the bill over the finish line. Touting some of the most popular provisions of the bill, he said, “Our country is going to be a rocket ship economically!”
[Please scroll down for his full remarks.]
Surrounded by cabinet members, lawmakers, and over 100 military families from the Whiteman Air Force base in Johnson County, Missouri, Trump signed the bill into law.
Following the signing ceremony, President Trump and First Lady Melania planned to host a military picnic, complete with fireworks.

Framed as a bold step toward restoring American strength and prosperity, the legislation encompasses sweeping reforms and funding priorities that aligned with his campaign promises. With characteristic showmanship, Trump celebrated the bill as a victory for the American people, one that would usher in the Golden Age of America. He expects the bill to spur economic growth, strengthen U.S. national security, and shore up national pride.
This massive tax and spending bill represents Trump’s entire domestic agenda. Among its most noteworthy provisions, it will:
* extend the 2017 tax cuts
* make steep cuts to Medicaid
* provide tax breaks on tipped income, overtime, and Social Security (for those who meet certain criteria)
* increase the defense budget by $150 billion (includes $24 billion toward Golden Dome missile shield)
* provide $100 billion in new funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
* increase the cap on the state and local tax deduction (SALT) from $10,000 to $40,000. (In five years, it will revert back to 10,000.)
* increase the child tax credit to $2,200
It is not a perfect bill. The final product reflects a series of negotiations, side deals, and even some arm-twisting. There are provisions in this legislation that even many Republicans strongly oppose, but expecting 50 senators and 218 representatives to agree on every detail is simply unrealistic.
Although I always believed that Trump would find a way to pass this measure, there were moments when its success seemed all but impossible. He went in knowing that no Democrat would support it — and none did. But at times the internal divisions among Republicans appeared significant enough to sink the entire effort.
The passage of this legislation marked a major victory for the president, who has arguably enjoyed the best two weeks of his entire political career.

He sure can talk the talk. Even better he walks the walk. Which makes him unlike most others that talk the talk. His presidencies and sagas are truly historical in American annals. There will never be another like him. May he go out on top.
The whole thing is an entire lie
First off it only runs from 2025 to 2028.
After 2028 everybody again pay taxes on their Social Security.
The benefit is entirely phased out for those who earn more than $76,000 per year
So for those of us who are still working past full retirement age and earn basically the median income in America will see no benefit at all from this supposed tax cut.
People need to keep in mind that the perfect bill will never ever be passed under any Presidency. The system virtually guarantees no “perfect” bill will ever see the light of day.
Couple that with Democrats derangement that will only worsen when they don’t take the House back next year 😂
Moreover the perfect bill CANNOT exist.
The mere thought of Democrat control of the House actually makes me physically ill, like when you try to stop yourself from vomiting but the taste lingers in your mouth.
We can get better than we are and much better than we did.
The news channels are going overboard trying to claim the bill will be a disaster for republicans !!!!!
Cue the 51 economists put forth by Democrats for them to report on as truth.
“The passage of this legislation marked a major victory for the president, who has arguably enjoyed the best two weeks of his entire political career.”
JR the failed lawyer from Iowa and TeeJayVee the basement-dwelling girly-man hardest hit.
I see JR has taken the bait.
A downvote from that dumbass is like a ray of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy day.
I often see JR or others accused of downvotes, or JR upvoting himself. I have yet to see how one can see who is doing which voting. How can one tell?
Hey what happened to the promise to reduce the deficit and pay down the debt?
Ohhhhhh right…billionaires need yet another tax break. My bad. And we need an even bigger bloated military. riiiiiiight, VOMIT
Shut up, you ignorant retard.
You know as much about the deficit and the debt as Joe Biden did.
President Trump deserves a lot of credit for getting his program through ASAP. Counting what he can get done in the next 18 months, it almost does not matter if the Republicans hold control of the House in the mid-term elections. That said, the One Big Beautiful Chart Book (Google it) at whitehouse.gov shows in the final chart that in none of the next 10 years and under no assumptions is the Federal Defict ever under $1.7T. Throw in a recession somewhere along the way and the deficit will see $3T. Therefore, all the grandstanding aside, it is very hard to conclude that this (now) law is anything but bad for my grandchildren. Out of 535 Senators and Congress people in DC, Rand Paul seems to be about the only fiscally responsible one.
“…as well as B-2 bombers — reportedly the same B-2s that participated in Operation Midnight Hammer two weeks ago.”
Since I live near Whiteman AB, and its various approach paths, I can neither confirm or deny these departures, or any aspect of base operations. *wink *wink
Plus, you can add to that noteworthy list ‘The Big Beautiful Bill kicks 1.4 MILLION illegal immigrants off Medicaid’ per US Senator Eric Schmitt(MO-R).
I voted for this – and it’s better than my biggest expectations.
I would have preferred that the bill had gotten to Trump’s desk a day or two late, solely on account of the battle over removing items from the NFA.
The Trump Administration obviously needs a 2×4 upside the head to get its attention when it comes to the second amendent. He has yet to give us ANY of the fan service he assured us he would, and in fact he screwed us over twice in his last term.
Eliminating the SALT deduction entirely so that blue state citizens feel all the pain of their policies would have gone a long way towards changing their governments. Still, overall it’s not bad.
As long as there are RINOs and 2 parties it’s going to be a long slog
4 trillion dollars in new national debt! Let the fireworks begin! Happy Fourth of July!
Shut up, you miserable wretch.
Cut federal spending? Sorry, we lied about that.
Reduce the deficit? Sorry, we lied about that.
Balance the budget? Sorry, we lied about that.
End the Russia vs. Ukraine War in 24 hours? Sorry, we lied about that.
Considering the price tags associated with your party’s giveaways this is a drop in the bucket. Yes we can and should do better. That doesn’t mean any of the adults care about the screeching from the special ed table.
my party is either Independent or Libertariian. I am far from a blind supporter of the Democrats.
Thnks for the laugh. More like the cult of TDS.
Who is this “we” you’re talking about?
Aren’t you the same asshole that pretends to be a Republican on Powerline and Althouse?
How miserable of a POS do you have to be, to be you?
You happily voted for Joe Biden, who added well over $8 trillion to the national debt the lousy four years he was in office. Never a peep out of you the whole time.
Achilles at Althouse is right. There’s no living with cretins like you.
You don’t care about the deficit or the debt, troll, so stop pretending that you do.
Could not even get the date right. What a surprise.
Promises made. PRomises Kept. ( VOMIT)
Like the one about cutting the deficit and paying down the debt?
Elizabeth, would it kill you to take off that red hat for a day and do some actual journalism?

This is what Washington calls compromise: The House proposes $1, the Senate proposes $2, and somehow, the government ends up spending $3.
Here we go again. This week, the Senate finally passed its version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” and the House signed off.* What was already an oversized mess has been supersized into a $4 trillion ode to unseriousness.
This isn’t tax reform. It’s a bipartisan piñata stuffed with pork, gimmicks, and—of course—debt. We’re told to cheer because the bill makes permanent a few pro-growth policies, including 100 percent bonus depreciation and research and development expensing. However, a few pearls in a vast ocean of bad policies are nothing to celebrate. It’s like marveling at newly painted rooms in a burning house.
We’ve been told to cheer because the bill removes or trims $147 billion of the House version’s worst handouts. But as an Arnold Ventures analysis points out, the Senate also added $186 billion to the pot. That’s a net increase of $39 billion in pork.
GAK
Shut up, you insufferable retard.
