WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) issued the following statement after voting for H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
“This bill delivers major wins for the American people by protecting families and small businesses from the largest tax hike in history and by putting more money back into the pockets of seniors, parents, and workers. It also permanently secures the border, funds mass deportations, unleashes American energy, and modernizes our defense. While more work remains to rein in Washington spending, this legislation is an important step toward reversing the damage of Biden-era policies and restoring an America that is affordable, safe, and strong.”
A few big wins included in the reconciliation bill:
- Makes permanent President Trump’s tax cuts from 2017.
- Eliminates taxes on tips and overtime.
- Allows seniors to deduct an additional $4,000.
- Makes the child tax credit permanent and increases the amount.
- Reforms fraud and abuse in Food Stamps and Medicaid programs.
- Requires able-bodied adults to work to receive welfare benefits.
- Enhances resources for Border Patrol and ICE.
- Finishes the border wall.
- Phases out the Green New Scam (IRA).
- Increases onshore and offshore oil and gas leasing.
- Boosts American mineral development.
- Ends taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors.
