📜 Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”: What It Was, What It Promised — and Why It Never Happened Donald Trump often teased a sweeping tax reform follow-up to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, calling it the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” But despite the rhetoric, the full bill was never formally released or introduced to Congress. So what would it have done — and why does it still matter? 🔍 What Was Supposed to Be In It? Here’s what was repeatedly promised or hinted at by Trump, Larry Kudlow, and campaign surrogates: ✅ Make Individual Tax Cuts Permanent — The 2017 tax cuts for individuals are set to expire in 2025. Trump wanted to extend or lock them in. ✅ Zero Capital Gains Taxes or Indexing to Inflation — Aimed to protect investors and reward long-term gains. ✅ Eliminate Payroll Taxes (Temporarily or Permanently) — Floated during COVID to boost take-home pay and reduce business expenses. ✅ Expand Child Tax Credit — To appeal to families and working parents. ✅ Bring Back Full Business Expensing — To fuel manufacturing and small business investment. ✅ Middle-Class Tax Cuts 2.0 — Promised deeper cuts for workers and job creators, though never clearly defined. 🚫 Why It Never Passed COVID Disruption: Congress prioritized relief packages over reform. Lack of Legislative Text: No formal bill language ever reached the floor. GOP Division: Some Republicans balked at the cost and optics. Election Focus: It became a talking point, not a governing action. 💬 Why It Still Matters Because millions are still waiting for the relief they were promised. If the Big, Beautiful Bill had teeth, it could have: 🧯 Slashed inflationary pressure 🏠 Protected homeowners and retirees 🏭 Rebuilt American manufacturing with real incentives 💸 Put working-class Americans ahead of Wall Street 🔁 What JSA2026 Would Do BETTR 🛑 End property taxes on fully paid-off homes 🧾 Flatten and localize taxes under a Commonwealth Budget model 💼 Offer 2-year tax holidays for startups and relocators 🔄 Restore economic trust through transparency and local spending control Talk is cheap.

🚆 MTA: Service Restored on West Hempstead LIRR Branch After Train Fire Service is back on the West Hempstead branch of the LIRR — but the real fire is the one Albany keeps fueling with corruption, neglect, and bloated transit budgets. Another day, another MTA failure patched over with zero accountability. While New Yorkers deal with delays, breakdowns, and safety risks, the political class keeps raising tolls and cashing checks. We deserve a transit system that works, not one that burns through billions and delivers chaos. 🔗 https://longisland.news12.com/train-catches-fire-near-backyards-in-malverne-shuts-down-part-of-the-west-hempstead-lirr-branch?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR71u66eYAWK_ffoCJ9pWg199loAfCS36Dw7dK6Qu56vtipClSEb6fOoU1ULsw_aem_krD5d74klrn24XmogWLxoQ #MTAFail #FixNewYork #LIRR #TransitCorruption #CommonwealthBudget #JSA2026 #EndTheGrift #BuiltByStruggle #BETTRNews
