| Hello John, The One Big Beautiful Bill is the law of the land! The OBBB is more than just legislation. It’s a game-changing step toward a prosperous and secure America. Before we get into all of what’s in the bill, we need to say a word about how House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune were able to deliver the goods with such slim majorities in both chambers. To get the bill done by the July 4 deadline was truly remarkable. Between now and going into 2026, you will be hearing a lot from OBBB opponents about “gutting Medicaid” and “tax cuts for the rich.” Baloney. Here’s what the OBBB means for our country and why it matters to you and your family: Avoiding the biggest tax hike in American history. Perhaps the most important part of the OBBB is that it prevents what would have been the largest tax increase in U.S. history. By making many provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, this bill ensures certainty and stability for American taxpayers. - Extended income tax brackets and deductions mean working families and small businesses can breathe easier, knowing their hard-earned money stays where it belongs — in their pockets.
- The new law also makes permanent full expensing for most categories of business investment. This is a huge win. Full expensing is designed to encourage business investment, stimulate economic growth, and simplify tax compliance. The expensing provisions in the 2017 Trump tax cuts excluded investments in factories and buildings and began phasing out in 2023, so the OBBB is a big improvement.
Strengthening our borders. The Trump administration has made securing America’s borders a priority, but more resources are needed to do the job. Here are the highlights: - $170 billion for border security and deportations
- $46.5 billion for a border wall
- $45 billion to add 100,000 migrant detention beds
- $29.9 billion for 10,000 new ICE officers, $7.8 billion for 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, and $3.3 billion for more immigration judges and staff
Unleashing American energy independence. Under President Biden’s administration, the push for costly green energy programs ignored the needs of families struggling with rising energy costs. This law reverses course — in a big way. It removes taxpayer handouts for ineffective green initiatives and sets the country back on track to energy dominance. Investments in domestic oil and gas production will not only lower energy bills but also create thousands of good-paying American jobs. Empowering small businesses. Our economy’s backbone has always been small businesses, and the One Big Beautiful Bill sets them up for success. Through provisions like full equipment expensing and increasing the deduction for small business income, the bill provides entrepreneurs with the tools and incentives they need to grow. When we support the builders, dreamers, and creators who drive innovation, America wins. Securing Medicaid, fighting fraud. Contrary to the left’s misleading claims, the One Big Beautiful Bill does not “gut” Medicaid. Instead, it introduces intelligent reforms to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse from a program plagued by inefficiencies. Medicaid’s annual spending will continue to increase under this bill while ensuring that funds are used responsibly to assist the neediest members of our society. Building on this victory. Earlier, I praised Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune for their work on the OBBB. Now I want to praise someone else — you. I feel confident saying that no other organization put more time, effort, and money into making this happen than the grassroots activists at Americans for Prosperity. Please take a moment to watch a short video on the impact that activists like you had on passing a bill that will protect prosperity for generations to come. |
