New Big Budget Bill Has Surprises for Everyone

New Big Budget Bill Has Surprises for Everyone; What we Don't Know About Trump's Budget Bill (American Issues Take One - recorded on 7/9/2025). The hosts for this show were Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests were Chuck Crumpton and David Larson.

The discussion was: Talk about Trump's Big Beautiful Budget Bill is everywhere. The rich have much to celebrate. They will enjoy a continuation of the current IRS favorable tax law. The lower one-third of Americans in this economy will feel differently when Medicare and Medicaid cuts are implemented. The new law has added tax benefits to seniors over 65 but takes food (SNAP) off the table for low-income families that are already working or have disabilities. The bill will impact congressmen in their red districts. Town hall meetings will get louder when the details of Trump's Bill are known to the MAGA voters. The panel explores this new law and impacts.

The takeaway was: One of largest takeaways from the lower income Americans has just occurred. As provisions of the law are analyzed and implemented, the numbers of those adversely impacted is yet to be fully understood.
