Email from Rep. Miller-Meeks Miller-Meeks Weekly Script July 6th, 2025 WEEKLY SC℞IPT View as Webpage The One Big Beautiful Bill Has Been Signed Into Law! On the Fourth of July, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, delivering on the mandate 77 million Americans gave him to restore strength, prosperity, and pride in our nation. This historic law prevents the largest tax hike on Iowa families and small businesses in American history by making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. It increases the child tax credit, provides a $6,000 tax break for seniors, reduces taxes on tips and overtime, brings manufacturing back home, and restores American energy dominance. It secures the border for good by ending catch-and-release, finishing the wall, and equipping thousands of new agents to stop fentanyl, crime, and chaos. It strengthens and preserves Medicaid for the vulnerable, children, pregnant women, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, and delivers $50 billion in new relief to rural hospitals that serve communities like ours. This is a once-in-a-generation achievement for the American people. It puts America first, protects our future, and proves what’s possible when we come together to fight for freedom and deliver results. How the One Big Beautiful Bill Will Benefit YOU? THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY Iowans were staring down the barrel of the largest tax increase in our nation’s history. Every family, every farm, every small business would have paid the price. This law stops that disaster. Makes the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, preventing the largest tx hike on working Iowans in history Blocks a 20% tax hike on small businesses Protects family farms from the 'Death Tax' Increases the Child Tax Credit to $2,500 Provides seniors with a new $6,000 tax break Cuts taxes on Tips & Overtime This means more money in your pocket, stability for rural businesses, and fewer headaches at tax time. SECURING THE BORDER FOR GOOD We don’t live on the southern border—but we’ve felt the impact of its failure. Fentanyl has taken over 500 Iowan lives per year. Small towns have seen crime and human trafficking increase. This law delivers the most serious border crackdown in American history. Ends Biden era catch-and-release Finishes the wall Adds 10,000 border agents and ICE officers Funds detention space and immigration courts Expedites deportation of violent criminals This is the strongest border security package ever passed. RELIEF FOR FARMERS & SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS As a former small business owner, I remember running payroll before paying myself. I know how hard it is to get by when taxes go up and government keeps taking. This law changes that. Makes the 20% small business tax deduction permanent Reinstates and doubles full and immediate expensing so Iowa manufacturers can invest Expands Opportunity Zones to fuel private investment in rural towns RESTORING AMERICAN ENERGY DOMINANCE Under Joe Biden, Iowa families saw record-high heating and utility costs. Energy prices have crushed rural hospitals, manufacturing plants, and family farms alike. This bill unleashes the full power of American energy. Reopens oil and gas leasing Fast-tracks approval for pipelines and biofuel expansion Speeds up nuclear energy development Ends regulatory roadblocks that have blocked Iowa energy projects MORE RELIEF FOR PARENTS & SENIORS Raising a family and aging with dignity shouldn’t come with penalties. This law delivers targeted, long-overdue tax relief to the people who need it most. Increases the child tax credit to ease the cost of childcare, groceries, and education Makes it permanent to provide predictability and stability for working families Establishes a $6,000 senior tax deduction to protect those on fixed incomes Helps parents save $1,000 at birth for every child I’ve seen how stress from financial insecurity affects every part of a family’s life. This bill eases that burden and lets families breathe again. RESPECTING HARD WORK: CUTTING TAXES ON TIPS & OVERTIME When you work harder, you should earn more—not owe more. Cuts federal income taxes on tips and overtime pay Helps servers, nurses, police officers, firefighters, correctional officers, and truckers take home more Recognizes the real value of frontline workers who put in extra hours to support their families This is a bill that finally respects the dignity of work. That says to every Iowan doing an extra shift or serving tables late at night: we see you. And we’re on your side. PROTECTING MEDICAID AND STRENGTHENING RURAL HEALTH CARE As a physician, I’ve seen firsthand how vital Medicaid is for Iowa’s most vulnerable. children with special needs, pregnant women, low-income seniors, and veterans who have sacrificed for our country. But for too long, this critical safety net has been weighed down by fraud, waste, and abuse. The One Big Beautiful Bill takes real action to fix that. It strengthens Medicaid so those who truly need help can get it, and ensures resources go where they’re needed, not to illegal immigrants or those who are ineligible. Preserves Medicaid for children, pregnant women, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities Ends Medicaid access for illegal immigrants Cracks down on billions in improper payments and fraud Requires states to verify addresses and remove ineligible recipients And for rural communities across Iowa, the bill delivers $50 billion in new relief for rural hospitals. This investment means more access to care, shorter wait times, and a stronger safety net for the people who make this country work. A NEW ERA OF AMERICAN STRENGTH AND IOWA PRIDE The One Big Beautiful Bill is not just signed into law, it’s now the law of the land. This bill is restoring America’s strength, rebuilding our economy, and reviving the values that made our country great. For Iowa, it’s a return to common sense. To putting families before bureaucracy. To believing in hard work, faith in country, and pride in our communities. From stopping the largest tax hike in history to securing our border and boosting small towns, this is a once-in-a-generation victory. Thank you for letting me serve you.
