You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.

But it’s not over yet. Provisions like the 10-year ban on state AI regulation and the forced sell-off of public lands are still in the bill. Keep spreading the word. Keep pushing back. This isn’t budget reform.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to bring down prices “immediately.”
Instead, they’ve gone up.
And his “big, beautiful bill” would raise more costs for working families, from groceries to health care to utility bills, while making the richest Americans even richer.
