    “Welcome back to This Week in the World — where we break down the biggest global and political stories in a way that actually makes sense. Today, we’re looking at one of Trump’s boldest moves since returning to the White House: the so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ It's got tax cuts, budget slashes, and a whole lot of debate. So… who’s winning, and who’s left behind?”


    So let’s talk about one of the biggest—and most talked-about—moves Trump has made since stepping back into the White House: something he proudly calls ‘The Big Beautiful Bill.’Yeah, that’s the actual name.
    Here’s what’s in it:

    • Big tax cuts for wealthy Americans and corporations.

    • Deep funding cuts to Medicaid, SNAP (that’s food stamps), and public housing.

    And it expands certain benefits for private businesses, like tax write-offs for automation.”

    Supporters say…

    • “These tax cuts will boost the economy by encouraging investment and job creation.”

    • “People should be less dependent on government programs.”

    • “Why punish success? If someone earns more, they shouldn’t be taxed more just for that.”
      Critics argue…

      • “This bill hurts low-income families the most—the people who rely on Medicaid for health care or SNAP to feed their kids.”

      • “Tax breaks for the wealthy don’t always trickle down—sometimes they just… stay up.”

      • “We’re shifting money away from social safety nets and toward corporate profits.”

        So if you’re doing really well financially, this bill probably feels like a win. But if you’re struggling—if you’re on Medicaid, if you use food stamps, if you rely on housing support—you could be seeing cuts, delays, or even total loss of services.”
        “So I want to hear from you:

        • Do you think tax cuts like this help the country in the long run?

        • Should the government shrink safety nets to balance the budget?

        Or is this just helping the rich while leaving others behind?”


        This has been This Week in the World. If this bill passed in your neighborhood — would it help you, or hurt you? Think about that.

        Make sure to follow, share, and send in your thoughts for next week’s deep dive. Same time, same world — I’ll see you then.” bye guys
