US Edition'Big Beautiful Bill' Threatens Democracy and Federal Deficit
- President Donald Trump's 1,116-page "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" passed the House last month and now faces Senate revisions amid rising public opposition.
- The bill builds on extending 2017 tax cuts but includes deep Medicaid cuts, stricter work requirements, and expanded tax breaks favoring wealthy Americans.
- A nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office report released earlier this month estimates the bill would increase deficits by $2.4 trillion and cause 10.9 million more people to lose health insurance.

- Public disapproval of the bill has risen above 55%, and experts warn failure to address debt growth could force painful cuts, tax hikes, or monetary expansion as seen in historical crises.
