The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a misnomer. Now, it has become the “Big, Ugly Bill” and is being sent back to the House of Representatives for approval.
I respect my debt-to-income ratio and rely upon my government to respect it as well. We must not allow a never-ending supply of tax dollars to pay for government’s lack of constraint—especially to finance tax cuts for the wealthy.
Consequentially, the “Big, Ugly Bill” will restrict health care and food assistance to millions of disabled and low-income Americans. State and local tax deductions will also be limited. Moreover, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add $3.3 trillion to federal deficits over the next 10 years.
Please ask your representatives to show some respect for the country and its taxpayers by voting nay this “Big, Ugly Bill.” The more we are in debt, the more tax dollars we must pay. It’s Common Sense 101.
