US EditionGOP's Big Beautiful Bill Betrays Poor, Working-Class Tennesseans. Here's How
- On June 30, the Senate debated the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill Act of 2025,' a major tax and entitlement reform package.
- The bill extends the 2017 tax cuts mainly benefiting high-income households while cutting Medicaid and SNAP despite prior GOP promises to protect Medicaid.
- It consolidates workforce programs with reduced funding, includes anti-immigrant provisions such as taxing remittances, and offers tax incentives to support small businesses.
- Bill Scher called the Medicaid cuts 'devastating and politically insane,' noting over 250,000 Tennesseans could lose coverage and $5.3 billion in food assistance is cut.
- The bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the deficit, disproportionately benefits the wealthy, faces broad unpopularity, and raises concerns about worsening economic outcomes for vulnerable Tennesseans.

LIHTC projects cost 20% more than the nonsubs…
