One big beautiful bill is an ugly disaster

July 12, 2026

Congressman Salud Carbajal

OPINION by CONGRESSMAN SALUD CABAJAL

It has been one year since Republicans passed their so-called “one big beautiful bill,” which has been nothing but one big ugly disaster.

This bill gives the ultra-wealthy big tax breaks while stripping health care and food assistance from children, seniors, and veterans. That’s why I stood united with House Democrats in voting against this bill and continue to speak out against it.

So, what are the big ugly bill’s impacts? It funds significant tax cuts for the billionaire class, while also:

  • Adding $4 trillion to the national debt
  • Causing 10 million Americans to lose their healthcare
  • Removing 4 million Americans from food assistance
  • Gutting trillions in funding from critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP

As Republicans celebrate the one-year anniversary of this legislation this week, I want to emphasize how devastating these impacts are. The statistics I shared in this letter are not abstract — they represent fellow Americans who are now struggling to make ends meet as a direct result of this bill.

Please know I will continue to fight to protect health care, keep families fed, and ensure our government works for working people — not just the rich and powerful.

Democrats only gain power by promising free shite to those looking for a handout. Then they leave their money on the dresser and make a quick exit once they secure that sucker’s vote.

Politicains like yourself who stayed completely silent during the Biden administration and said nothing have no right to complain about the current president. If your not happy about the current administration then maybe in 2028 you’ll actually let the voters decide the democrat candidate instead of anointing one. Yourself and the rest of your party’s failed policies is the reason Trump was elected if you don’t like it then change your party to be more effective and listen to voters.

If you ask a foreigner the question, why do so many come here with nothing? The first answer is always the free money. Who cares about the wealthy and their tax breaks, their get richer shenanigans is just a shell game for better financial posture and real trickle-down stability. They use the same everything else and can only live as good as their health allows. Our hard working, struggling people truly have a better live.
