“Dubbed by Trump as the ‘big, beautiful bill,’ the legislation would extend the president’s expiring tax cuts passed in 2017…
[It] would also slash spending in other areas, including hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, while rescinding a series of clean energy tax credits passed by Democrats in 2022. And it would raise
the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.”

After Seymour Brown

Oh, you beautiful bill, you great, big, beautiful bill!
Every bill-ionaire relaxes,
Knowing how you’ll slash their taxes;
Time for trickling down: the rest can swallow their fill;
No more subsidizing greedy kids on PELLs:
They’re gonna give up working jobs or else.
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, you beautiful bill.

Oh, you beautiful bill, you great, big, beautiful bill!
This is sure to set the seal on
All the spacey schemes of Elon;
Fools who choose to be poor had best not ever get ill:
All that cash you’ll raise from cutting Medicaid
That’s gonna cover tax that won’t be paid.
Oh-oh, oh-oh,
Great, big, beautiful bill.

Oh, you beautiful bill, you great, big, beautiful bill!
You are set to go the distance
By defunding food assistance
Think the Senate won’t bend? I’ll bet all Greenland it will;
No more greeny credits, no more debt relief,
No robbing SpaceX for some welfare thief;
Oh-oh, oh-oh,
Oh, you beautiful bill!
