One Big Beautiful Bill Act?

or just 'One Big Act'?

Trump vs. Musk

The rift between Trump and Musk, which began over Musk not being happy about the additional spending in this bill, has now escalated to WWIII status between the two. When it began a few days ago, the lame-stream media immediately focused on the rift, not the bill. That was an attempt to manipulate us, and take us away from our duty to judge our elected public servants based on their actions and behavior, not by the personal individual involved? You know… the way the left thinks every day.

“I praise and condemn actions and behaviors, not personalities and individuals”
- RINO Hunter Bob Valenta

And, as unified as Musk has been with Trump, isn’t that exactly what he was doing? Musk was speaking up when he saw the problem with the bill. He saw the opposite of DOGE. I say that as someone who doesn’t always agree with Musk… or anyone for that matter. But, I certainly appreciate his willingness to freely speak his mind, even though, to be honest, Elon Musk hasn’t come out against the most troubling aspects of he bill.

Perhaps, Vladimir Putin will offer to negotiate a peace treaty between DJT and Elon Musk 😁

Political Theater

Over the last few days, I have had several conversations with some close allies, regarding the question “Is this political theater? Is this Trump and Musk, playing 4-D Chess to get democrats to immediately stop burning and defacing Tesla cars and dealerships, and go back to buying them?”

I admit, at first I entertained that possibility… for about a minute. However, with Musk raising the stakes to hinting that Trump’s involvement with Epstein may have been far more sinister, I think that argument goes out the window. The theory basically is that Trump and Musk planned to play out the feud on social media, to get the left to stop attacking Musk, by putting out a false narrative that Trump may have been a pedophile… without actually directly saying that. I’m so done with the ‘Q-Mentality’ of “Trust The Plan”. Let me be clear… if Q ever was a real thing, it has long since been captured by the Deep State and turned into a psy-op. That is, if it wasn’t always a psy-op. Stop ‘Trusting the Plan’, there is no plan. There are no White Knights coming to save you. You are the White Hats. Act like it.

Focus on the bill

The political theater between Trump and Musk has caused the delay of this article for three days, and several rewrites, as this feud has escalated. And, who knows where tomorrow may take it.

None of that changes the fact that this bill is a porkulous monstrosity; the opposite of DOGE; the antithesis of MAGA or America First.

Do We Want Another ‘Big Bill’?

As conservatives, most of us still remember “We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in the bill”. Why should we even be falling for this bill at all? There’s some good things in the bill, but what aspects of tyranny are these “shiny coins” taking our eyes away from? A lot. And, I mean a lot that we would never fall for, if Clinton, Obama, Biden, or Harris were pushing it.

In fact some members of The House are already coming out and saying “I didn’t know <this> or <that> was in the bill, if I had, I never would have voted for it”. That’s the purpose of big bills, to make it impossible for Congressional Staff to even read it. They have to rely on truncated summaries, which mask the true nature. The Devil is in the details.

This bill is about as useful as a roll of “Constitutional toilet paper”. Some of what’s in it is lawful, legal, and Constitutional. The rest is designed to hold excrement, and should be used appropriately.

The Positives

The bill’s “shiny coin” is that it codifies the temporary tax restructuring from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), making it harder for future Presidents to wave their magic auto-pen at. The TCJA is set to expire in 2026, reverting back to higher taxes for the middle class… not the rich. Or, at least not just the rich.

The TCJA increased the standard deduction from $6,500 to $12,000 for single filers; from $13,000 to $24,000 for joint filers, and from $9,550 to $18,000 for heads of household. Those standard deductions will revert in 2026, without a new bill.

The bill also permanently extends some of the TCJA’s limits on some itemized deductions, such as for mortgage interest, and limits each dollar of itemized deductions for top earners. So, without this bill your taxes are likely to go up quite a bit next year. Some aspects of this bill still need some additional scrutiny regarding gift tax, green energy tax credits, and international tax. These policies may increase business investment and economic benefits if the bill passes, and could repeal some credits, like those for electric vehicles residential solar. Speaking of the idiocracy of solar… I will be writing an upcoming article on that debacle… and no, it’s not the democrats pushing solar in Florida… it’s the Repubclicant’s; the ‘SupeRINOrity’. To be more accurate… it’s the Uniparty.

But, back to this bill. Does wanting to codify the tax cuts mean that we want one big bill? No. The tax law should be its own standalone bill. This is how the poison is always hidden behind the shiny coin. “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”, and we all know what happens when government gives us “medicine”. So, we need to look closely at the “nano-bots” in this bill. These include protections for AI, which I would argue is part-and-parcel along with nano-tech.

The Negative

Instead of making the pro-growth features of the TCJA permanent, the bill wastes a lot of money on slight of hand gimmickry and individual carveouts for Big Pharma and Big AI. So, while it provides a modest boost to the economy, it comes at a huge fiscal cost.

Deficit Reduction

The Big Beautiful Bill is hailed as reducing the deficit, but the ‘tax and spend’ changes would increase the 10-year budget deficit by $2.6 trillion from 2025 through 2034 on a conventional basis, before added interest costs. Only in D.C. is a reduction in the rate of growth of the deficit, actually called “a reduction in the deficit”. And, they say it with a straight face, because their lobbyist friends instructed them to.

Green Energy

While some of the green energy tax credits would be restricted or phased out, the bill expands and extends the clean fuel production tax credit and introduces additional compliance challenges for many of the credits. So, don’t expect gas prices to return to 2020 levels, which here in Lee County was about $1.85/gal in Nov. ‘20.

SALT Tax Deductions

The bill waters down the TCJA’s $10,000 cap on deductions for state and local taxes (SALT), raising it to $40,000 for taxpayers earning less than $500,000.

If you’re not already aware, when Commie-States like New York and California overtax their citizens, then the federal government allows them a deduction on federal income taxes, it amounts to the other states paying Cali/NY’s fair share. Then, they use their state taxes to further the commie agendas. California is essentially taxing you and I to fund abortions and illegal immigration.

This bill quadruples, instead of eliminating, this illegal taxation without representation.

Other Tax Issues

According to The Tax Foundation, the bill further complicates the tax code in several ways, including:

1. A maze of new rules and compliance costs that may outweigh any potential tax benefits;

2. no tax on tips, overtime, and car loans comes with conditions and guard rails that could lead to hundreds of pages of IRS guidance to interpret;

3. changes to the IRA credits keep in place some of the most complicated rules, e.g., bonus credits for meeting prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements, and add new “foreign entity of concern” restrictions that may make many of the credits cost prohibitive.

4. Tax exemptions for overtime pay and tips, as well as a deduction for auto loan interest and a new additional standard deduction available for all seniors, all of which violate basic tax principles of treating taxpayers equally. Combined, these four provisions cost about $300 billion over the four years they are in effect, and if eventually extended beyond that date, the cost would more than double over the next decade. Complicated eligibility restrictions reduce the cost somewhat, but it would be better to not introduce these bad ideas in the first place.

5. Permanence for the business cost recovery provisions.

The REALLY Bad News

I saved the best, or rather the worst, for last.

The bill should be renamed “Beast System Installment Bill” or “SATAN”:
Systematic
Authoritarian
Tracking
And
Nanobots

Nuremberg 0.0

The single most concerning portion of this bill, and the one that should perk your ears right up, is that it protects secret medical experiments that violate the Nuremberg Code. In a time when we are demanding Nuremberg 2.0, they’re proposing Nuremberg 0.0; when MAHA’s RFK Jr. should be pushing in the other direction, he seems to be silent or neutered by Suzie ‘Wicked-Warped-WEF-War-Wench’ Wiles. Is this what Trump wants his legacy to be? This is NOT what ‘We, the American People’ voted for. And, we can’t allow it, even from our ‘favorite personality’, whether that’s Trump, or RFK, Jr.

AI is Sacrosanct

The close-second most concerning portion of this bill, which should equally concern us, is that it attempts to unconstitutionally abscond with authorities never delegated to our federal construct, by the compact that created it; The U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the attempt to ban the Several States from passing any regulation legislation, regarding artificial intelligence, for 10 years (which would probably be extended to permanence before it expires). Who wrote that part of the bill… ChatGPT? Maybe it was Opus 4, pretending to be ChatGPT. Is this how Skynet got its start in ‘Terminator’?

The Tenth Amendment reserves all authority in The States, and in The People, which are not expressly, and specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. It is the duty of the states to regulate AI, at the state level. There is no argument for, or justification of, federal overreach to ban regulation of an industry that even Elon Musk says needs serious regulation, and he’s in that industry.

But, will the states push back? Will the Supreme Court come out and declare it unconstitutional, either before or after its passage? I would not hold my breath.

Ironically, it might be Trump-hating democrat legislatures and governors who will push back on the unconstitutionality of this bill, and maybe a few RATs (Republicans Against Trump), but again, I wouldn’t hold my breath. The RATs may even be behind adding these portions of the bill, in order to feed their lobbyist puppet masters and create division among Republicans, like Super-RAT lobbyist, Evan “Almighty” Power of Florida does every day. But, I digress.

Now that this is getting exposed, Marjorie Taylor Greene says she wouldn’t have voted for it in The House, if she had known about that portion of the bill. Well, MTG… why did you vote for something you didn’t read? This makes my argument against any “Big Beautiful Bills”. MTG had to “pass it, to find out what was in it”. At least she did eventually come out and expose it, after the fact. She claims that the full bill is never available until a short time before the vote. Marjorie, don’t you think maybe that’s a major battle to engage in; ending big beautiful bills? Maybe as it works through the Senate, enough Republicans will step up and be America First, for a change.

Rand Paul is coming out about some aspects of the bill working its way through The Senate. But, is he even talking about the most concerning part, or just the second most concerning part? Rand has already indicated that he is poised to “compromise” quickly?
