House Republicans emerged from a private meeting with White House officials rebranding Trumps signature bill: The Working Families Tax Cuts Act.
Were so excited about that, Speaker Mike Johnson said after the meeting.
Polling shows Americans have panned the big bill. Half of U.S. adults expect the new tax law will help the rich, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Most about 6 in 10 think it will do more to hurt than help low-income people.

Your man in the WH and his lackeys in Congress have been calling it the BBB for a while now. There is NO rebranding at this point. May it hang around your neck like an anchor.

This "Big Beautiful Bill" {sic} will net us about $3K more spendable income a year because of the $12K a year tax deduction on Social Security income. Spendable income to be used for jobs in the economy.
That should be a good thing, right? However, that deduction comes at a much great cost. Decrease in Education funding, Less safety net for the poor and even putting Social Security itself at risk. Ain't so beautiful, is it?
