The latest inflation report has provided a silver lining: prices are decreasing while wages are on the rise. This positive trend is poised to receive a significant boost from President Donald J. Trump’s ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill.
During a recent briefing to Congress, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent elaborated on how this monumental tax reform—touted as the largest tax cut in history—aims to enhance economic growth for middle-class families and the private sector, all while steering clear of inflationary pressures:
- “The One Big Beautiful Bill is projected to increase take-home pay by an impressive $7,800 to $13,300 for the average family of four, while boosting wages for the average worker by $6,100 to $11,600.” (Watch)
- “In addition to its many benefits, the One Big Beautiful Bill will enhance the Child Tax Credit by $500—and make this increase a permanent fixture.” (Watch)
- “It will ensure that tips and overtime are not taxed, and it will also include tax reductions for seniors.” (Watch)
- “Furthermore, the legislation will make the tax cuts from 2017 permanent, thereby providing individuals and businesses with long-term certainty and fostering economic momentum.” (Watch)
- “The bill will enable 100% expensing for new manufacturing facilities, as well as for existing ones that expand their operations, thereby supporting the ‘Made in America’ initiative.” (Watch)
- “Additionally, it will allow consumers to purchase new American-made vehicles and deduct the interest on their loans.” (Watch)
- “This legislation is designed to prevent our corporate revenues from being siphoned off to foreign treasuries, a practice that costs us hundreds of billions of dollars.” (Watch)
- “Should the One Big Beautiful Bill fail to pass, we would face dire consequences. It would result in the largest tax hike in history, devastating businesses and working Americans alike, and jeopardizing our global standing. We could witness tax increases amounting to thousands of dollars for workers, a contraction of businesses, and a significant spike in unemployment rates.” (Watch)
