The article critiques the Trump administration's recent bill, expected to save taxpayers $2 trillion, which instead shows projected savings of only $9.4 billion. The bill includes significant debt ceiling increases and changes to Medicaid and support programs like SNAP, inflicting more costs on vulnerable populations. Elon Musk's departure from government, opposing the bill, emphasizes discontent within and external criticism. The administration is caught between promises and realities, as it seeks support while imposing austerity measures that could harm those in need.
Nothing is going according to plan for the Trump administration. The big, beautiful bill, originally vaunted to save the US taxpayer at least $2tn, so far, according to projections, delivers savings in the region of $9.4bn.
Tips and overtime are exempted from tax, but probably the only thing that's legitimately big, or if you like, huge, is the increase of the debt ceiling by $4tn.
As for beautiful the supplemental nutrition assistance program (Snap) will see reforms that throw more costs on to each state. Forty-two million low-income Americans are on Snap, and there would be more requirements upon those who are childless.
We have to get a lot of votes, we can't be cutting we need to get a lot of support, Trump said, in response to Musk's criticism, which seems to have enlivened in the president some fresh appreciation of how democracy works.
