Arrington Celebrates House Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — “Over the last four years, the American people have suffered one self-inflicted disaster after another – from the chaos at our southern border, to our crime ridden streets, to a cost-of-living crisis that decimated working families from sea to shining sea – leaving America weaker, more divided, and more vulnerable than it has been in generations," said House Budget Committee Chairman, and Lubbock, Texas Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) earlier today, after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1 – the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act – by a vote of 215-214.

“The One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers exactly that:
- The greatest single investment in Border ecurity & National Defense;
- The largest Tax Cuts for Families & Small usinesses;
- The most significant commitment to unlocking America’s energy resources; and
- The largest Reduction in Spending in the history of the United States – by two-fold.
"Here’s the truth," added Arrington:
-
The 2017 tax cuts lowered tax rates for every American household at every income level – with lower-income families benefiting the most, while actually increasing the amount of taxes paid by the top 1%.
-
Three of every four dollars in the Trump tax cuts didn’t go to corporations – they went to individuals.
-
Workers experienced a record 25-year wage increase.
-
Families received an additional $5,000 in Median Household Income – and income for the bottom 50% grew three times faster than the top 1%.
-
And as a result, a record 6 million Americans were lifted out of poverty.
