The Spin

Republican narrative

This "One Big Beautiful Bill" delivers on President Trump's promise to cut taxes for hardworking Americans, strengthen national security, and eliminate wasteful government spending. The legislation will pay for itself through economic growth while protecting critical programs from fraud and abuse, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

Democratic narrative

The Trump administration's massive tax scam would devastate working families by stripping millions of Americans of their healthcare and food assistance to finance tax cuts for billionaires and reckless massive increases for the Pentagon. The fiscally destructive package would explode the national debt while dismantling essential safety net programs that middle-class families rely on.
