“Rumors of ‘Pork’ in the One Big Beautiful Bill: A Myth Busted”
It seems there’s been a misunderstanding — and no one articulates this better than White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who tackled the myth directly in a recent interview with Charlie Kirk.
“There is no pork in this bill. The details have been transparent for weeks. Each component reflects a campaign promise — a commitment made and kept.

The 2017 Trump Tax Cuts were celebrated as a significant achievement for the conservative movement. Imagine how much more monumental that victory could be if it also encompassed comprehensive funding for the border wall, full financial backing for deportations, and a nationwide defunding of transgender surgeries. What if it included the first-ever tax on the endowments of our nation’s elite universities? And what if it also eliminated taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security? What if this legislation created an unprecedented framework for energy deregulation? What if it enabled the Department of Defense to play a role in securing our southern border? Essentially, this bill chains together one essential policy after another — all while preserving tax cuts. Such an approach is unprecedented in the annals of conservative policymaking. This bill is nothing short of revolutionary. […]
A logical observer should be able to acknowledge, ‘It’s remarkable that this legislation fulfills the entire tax agenda, border priorities, immigration reform, energy policies, significant elements of the anti-woke agenda, and crucial aspects of higher education reform, while also dismantling the Green New Deal and student loan forgiveness. It represents the most extensive welfare reform in history. While you can absolutely advocate for even tighter fiscal policies, dismissing this bill as having pork is simply unfounded. It’s been out in the open for weeks, and the provisions included are nothing more than campaign pledges.”
