U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who serves as the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, has unveiled the complete legislative text of President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" in Washington. Graham stated that this bill addresses several key areas including taxes, border security, military funding, and Medicaid reform.
"If you like higher taxes, open borders, a weak military and unchecked government spending, this bill is your nightmare," Graham commented. He emphasized the significance of making the Trump tax cuts permanent to prevent a potential four trillion-dollar tax increase on working families.
The proposed legislation allocates full funding for border security indefinitely and proposes an injection of $150 billion into military spending. According to Graham, this move is crucial for maintaining national safety. Additionally, the bill aims to raise the debt ceiling to prevent economic default.
Medicaid reform is also a central aspect of the bill. Graham noted that Medicaid has expanded by nearly 50 percent over five years and highlighted efforts within the bill to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse while mandating work requirements for able-bodied recipients. He described it as "the largest reduction in government spending in recent memory" and called it a step towards fiscal reform.
"The Big Beautiful Bill contains all of President Trump’s domestic economic priorities," said Graham. He believes that passing this legislation will enhance national prosperity and security.
