"Chairman Graham Releases Full Senate Text Of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill


WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, today released the Senate’s full legislative text of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

“If you like higher taxes, open borders, a weak military and unchecked government spending, this bill is your nightmare.

“I am proud to present to the public the Big Beautiful Bill. By making the Trump tax cuts permanent, working families will avoid a four trillion-dollar tax increase. Our bill provides full funding to secure the border in perpetuity and injects a much-needed $150 billion into our military to keep our nation safe. In addition, the bill raises the debt ceiling so that we do not default and crash the economy.

“Equally important, our bill reforms Medicaid – which has grown by nearly 50 percent in five years. It eliminates waste, fraud and abuse – and requires able-bodied Medicaid recipients to work. This bill is the largest reduction in government spending in recent memory, and is a down payment on fiscal reform.

“The Big Beautiful Bill contains all of President Trump’s domestic economic priorities. By passing this bill now, we will make our nation more prosperous and secure.”

Time to undo the democrat mess with the OBBB, and there is still lots of work to do. but its a good start.

Kyzr,..... I actually blame the Sad, & Deteriorating condition of America on both the Democrats, & Republicans.

I am a Strong Conservative, that absolutely upholds America's Biblical Foundation, It's Heritage, & Constitution, but I refuse to be "Herded" by these two "Parties" that in many ways are "Working Hand-in-Hand" towards destroying the Nation that at one time was Greatly Feared, & Greatly Envied by the World.

 

[Natural Citizen]

The neo-cons like Rubio and Graham and that bunch of hawks have effectively used "MAGA'' as a slingshot back into power.

Strong conservatives always want to be re-elected just like democrats do, so they are fiscally irresponsible too, but on defense spending instead of social programs. They always cut taxes too much.

That $38T DEBT is a millstone around America's neck, and both sides refuse to address it.

We need the top tax rate to be 40% and the capital gains tax break ended to start paying down the debt.

I'm a populist, I like winning elections. Conservatism is dead.

There's some truth in that. Rubio rode the remnants of the Tea Party into office.

 

[Natural Citizen]

There's some truth in that. Rubio rode the remnants of the Tea Party into office.

Yeah, he sure did. I was gonna reference the similar hijacking of the Tea Party back then for sake of relevance to what we're seeing happen with the so-called ''MAGA'' movement, but these days my level of give a damn just isn't what it used to be. I'm outnumbered so I just do me.

As is always the case, hstorically speaking, those who participate in coercion, whether knowingly or unknowingly, will be the first to be thrown under the bus once full spectrum dominance has been achieved. This, like the Tea Party movement, will similarly be the fate of the so-called ''MAGA'' movement once its usefulness has passed.

I don't Believe that True Conservatism is dead yet kyzr, but the Corrupt, & Contaminated Clone of it, being the Republican Party, is working hard to remove it from the Minds of many Americans.

It was different depending on where you lived....In my AO the "Paul-Bots" co-opted the Tea Party.

LOL....I went to the first meeting at the fire hall and there were a lot of folks like me there.

I started deer hunting and didn't go back till the season closed and by then the "Mah Weed" bunch had completely took over. I got up and left. They were stinking fuckers too.

Our founders were all in agreement that this country would not have a "Biblical Foundation". So, I don't know where you got that from?

Well Ron's movement was co-opted by the weed hippies, I'll give you that. Then they didn't even show up to vote.

So far as organizaton and running the delegate game, there were none better at the time.

I was reminded of this when you mentioned about stealing delegates in another thread. The GOP did the same thing to him when they stole his and gave em to Romney. Rule 40(b)...

Natural,.... You Ain't Alone!

I've managed to cause Democrats, & Republicans to join together in raging at me, on Facebook, & MeWe, when I point out the Corruptions, & Treasonous Acts of both Parties.

When one examines every piece of that large puzzle,.............. It should shock many, that trusted their "Party", to see that they have not only been Lied to, but also that they are being "Herded" towards being "One with the World", as well as America being Destroyed at the least as a "Super Power".

Greatly Feared, & Greatly Envied by the World.

That is us, again.

Assigning Republicans anywhere near the level of blame that the Democrats have is ludicrous.

Is the country anywhere near as Conservative as a lot of us would like?
no.

You go to war with the army that you have, not the army that you wish that you had.

I've no interest in changing anyone's mind any more. Life's simply too short.

People want to be led. They used to follow a carrot on a stick. Now it's so easy for the establishment that they don't even bother attaching a carrot to the stick any more. And the electorate isn't going to truly learn the consequence of self-defeat until it's allowed to wilfully hit rock bottom. It's the only way, in my view.

Billiejeens, Democrats got America in to the Viet Nam War, with the excuse being that Communism had to be stopped from expanding in to Thailand, The Philippines, etc. Communism did not advance any further than Cambodia, to this day, & America lost the Viet Nam War.

The Republican Party, began the Middle-eastern Wars, & even when Administrations changed from Republican to Democrat & back again To Republican,........ Those Wars continued.

And the Democrats continue to lust for the Shia Muslims, and the Republicans continue to lust for The Sunni Muslims. Each Party has allowed large Immigrations of "Practicing Muslims" to become part of Our Federal, & State Governments, Our Military, Our Infrastructure, Our Communications, Our Power Generation, Our Media, Our Food Processing, etc., etc.,...... The problem is, that unlike POTUS Thomas Jefferson who studied the Quran, so as to know his enemy better,..............Our Political Leaders act as if what is stated in the Quran that is to be done to the "Unbeliever/Infidel" is either a lie, or no longer applies in Today's World.

Islam alone, once the Call for Jihad goes out, will set aside it's differences over who is the True Leader of Islam, and once again Make War upon the "Crusaders"/"Unbelievers"/"Infidel". Islam, conquered everything in it's path up to "The Gates of Paris", where it was Defeated, but,..... It took many, many years to drive Islam out of Europe.

In Today's World,...... Think of the massive number of MUslims, in Europe, England, The British Commonwealth, America, & many S. American Nations, as a "Pre-positioned 5th Column", that could practically destroy the Defenses, The Power Grid, Water Supply, Transportation hubs, etc.

The "Muslim Extremists", such as Hezbollah, have already Allied their selves with many a Drug gang/Cartel in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, & S. America.

Do You Truly Believe that these Muslims, & Cartels, will be afraid to Act against America,.... If Trump invades at the least Venezuela? Mexico? Columbia?

 

[TruthSeeker112125]

In the meantime,..... Trump is vastly enriching those who manufacture Weapons of War, while he acts like America has the Military Power that it did when Reagan was POTUS!

Hey, I like those professional actors on Capitol Hill. They always hit the nail on the head! lol.

It is broadly true that Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is closely intertwined with defense‑industry lobbying and big money interests, though “dark money” in the narrow legal sense is harder to document publicly. The bill delivers an unusually large, long‑term stream of defense funding that heavily benefits major contractors and emerging military‑tech firms that have spent heavily on lobbying and outside political influence efforts. jacobin+3

What the bill does for defense

Analyses of the bill describe more than $150 billion in additional Pentagon‑related spending on top of the regular defense budget, including large allocations for shipbuilding, drones, and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile‑defense project. A substantial share of this money is expected to go to a relatively small group of large contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, RTX, Northrop Grumman, and newer firms like SpaceX, Palantir, and Anduril. stripes+4

Lobbying and influence

The U.S. weapons industry has dramatically increased lobbying in recent years, spending well over $100 million annually and employing hundreds of lobbyists while simultaneously positioning itself to receive the new bill’s contracts. Reports also describe dense networks of former Pentagon officials and political insiders moving into defense‑tech and venture capital roles, giving these firms direct channels to shape policy and budget outcomes that the bill locks in. thenation+1

Where “dark money” fits

“Dark money” usually refers to political spending routed through nonprofits or similar vehicles that do not fully disclose donors. Public reporting on this specific bill focuses more on traditional lobbying and campaign giving than on traceable dark‑money entities, so concrete, documentable dark‑money flows tied to particular defense provisions are harder to prove from open sources.* **However, investigative pieces argue that opaque big‑money networks and corporate‑aligned advocacy groups strongly backed the bill overall, especially the parts shifting public funds toward contractors and away from social spending. substack.perfectunion+3

Bottom line

True in a broad sense: the bill is widely characterized as a major win for defense contractors that have invested heavily in lobbying and political influence. prospect+3

Not fully provable in a narrow legal sense: specific “dark money” mechanisms behind the defense sections are plausible but not comprehensively documented in public data, so they should be described as likely or suspected rather than definitively proven. bbc+2

MAGA is the current evolved version of the Tea Party movement .. the movement may have been used as a launching point for politicians that aren't truly in line with the Tea Party [MAGA] movement ..Burt the movement itself has not been hijacked .. its growing stronger and is demanding more from its political representatives ..
