How Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' ends decades of temporary tax policy games in Washington
Preston Brashers
Signing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law at a White House ceremony on Independence Day may go down as the signature legislative achievement of President Donald Trump’s second term – and not just for the obvious reasons.
Yes, the bill includes many provisions that conservatives consider beautiful. It takes welfare benefits from illegal immigrants, implements reasonable work requirements for able-bodied adults without children, phases out many "Green New Deal" subsidies, and prevents a massive $4 trillion tax hike scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1.
But some conservatives have criticized the legislation for being, well, big. Why, they ask, should any bill exceed 800 pages?
It’s a reasonable question. But if they think that bigger bills usually aren’t better, they may be pleased to learn that the "big, beautiful bill" will reduce the pressure for large, "must-pass" bills in the future.
It does so by locking in most of the tax code permanently.
