Inside Trump's Economic Disaster: Medicaid Cuts, ICE Expansion, and Tax Breaks for the Rich
Trump's new economic law is a catastrophic mix of deeply unpopular Medicaid cuts, a massive expansion of ICE, and enormous tax breaks benefiting the wealthiest and special interests.
Millions are expected to lose health insurance due to onerous work reporting requirements and red tape, with studies showing most Medicaid recipients are already working. Rural hospitals are closing, and food assistance programs face severe cuts, jeopardizing millions of meals.
ICE is becoming the largest federal law enforcement agency, with plans for 10,000 new agents, expanded detention centers, and over a million deportations a year, targeting largely non-criminal immigrants and terrorizing communities.
Special interest tax breaks include exemptions for large corporations, estate taxes, and giveaways to industries like oil, gas, and rum, increasing the national debt by trillions.
This bill will deeply impact ordinary Americans while enriching the powerful, setting the stage for political battles in 2026 and beyond.
Medicaid Work Reporting Harms Many
- Trump's "big, beautiful bill" cuts Medicaid by $1 trillion, affecting millions, mostly through bureaucratic work reporting requirements.
- These burdensome rules will cause many working people to lose healthcare coverage despite continuing to work.
