Passing Judgment
The Real Impact of the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill on Your Taxes and Benefits with Chris Stein

Passing Judgment

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson interviews Chris Stein, senior politics reporter for The Guardian US, about the "big, beautiful bill" driven by President Trump and congressional Republicans. Stein explains that the bill makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent, primarily benefiting high earners, while also introducing new deductions and extending some relief for select groups. He highlights significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, noting these changes are delayed until after the midterms, while increased funding for immigration enforcement and the border wall takes effect more quickly. The episode also addresses the bill's large projected impact on the federal deficit and the political strategy behind delaying the most controversial cuts. Levinson and Stein wrap up with insights into House Democrats' push for Trump-related Epstein files, illustrating the limited tools available to the minority party.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Tax Changes: Immediate Relief, Long-Term Effects: The bill makes the Trump-era tax cuts permanent, creating significant (and expensive) relief that primarily benefits top earners, while also introducing temporary new cuts for working-class voters. However, not everyone qualifies, and the flipside could mean fewer resources for government programs.Social Safety Nets: Delayed Pain, Lasting Impact: Major changes to Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) are built in—including work requirements and shifting costs to states. Crucially, these cuts are delayed until after the next midterms, affecting rural and Trump-leaning areas the most, but the full consequences won't be felt until later election cycles.Immigration and Deficit: Shifting Priorities, Bigger Budget: The bill pours billions into border enforcement—including ICE, deportations, and the border wall—while still adding an estimated $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, eclipsing even the emergency pandemic-era spending.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how the Big Beautiful Bill reveals the dangerous cycle of government dependency and unchecked bureaucratic growth. As Democrats frame the bill as cruel, Professor Giordano breaks down how programs like Medicaid and SNAP have ballooned far beyond their original intent, now cover nearly 1 in 5 Americans. With new work and education requirements for able-bodied adults sparking outrage, this episode dives into the fraud, waste, and abuse plaguing these programs. Even Republicans are hesitant to introduce real reforms for fear of backlash from the American people. He explains how Republicans must go on offense to win the narrative war and restore the American values of personal responsibility, limited government, and true compassion. Episode Highlights: The explosive growth of Medicaid and SNAP: from safety nets to permanent entitlements What GAO reports reveal about fraud, abuse, and hundreds of billions in wasted taxpayer dollars Why Republicans must control the narrative and defend work requirements as moral and necessary

A new House bill would require many Medicaid recipients to log 80 hours of work each month or risk losing coverage. Supporters say it promotes self-sufficiency, but critics warn the paperwork alone could drop thousands from the rolls. Experts say that even expansion states like New York, where about one in three residents depends on Medicaid, could see enrollment slip. To help unpack it all, I spoke to Sarah Miller. Sarah is an associate professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. Her studies have traced Medicaid’s ripple effects from reduced medical debt all the way to measurable drops in mortality, offering clear evidence that coverage saves both wallets and lives. Today, we talk about what happens when states expand (or slash) Medicaid, why seemingly small paperwork burdens can shut out eligible patients, and how work-requirement rules could reverberate across other safety-net programs.

This week on CounterSpin: On a Sunday night, not when officials do things they're most proud of, House Republicans passed a plan to give more money to rich people by taking it from the non-rich. Call it what you will, that's what's ultimately happening with the plan to cut more than $700 billion from Medicaid in order to “offset,” as elite media have it, the expense of relieving millionaires from contributing to public coffers. Even the feint they're using — we're not cutting aid, just forcing recipients to work, like they should — is obvious, age-old and long-disproven, if evidence is what you care about. Thing is, of the millions of people at the sharp end of the plan, most are children, who have no voice corporate media feel obliged to listen to. We'll nevertheless talk about them with independent journalist Bryce Covert. You may have seen an editorial in the Washington Post indicating that, despite what you have heard for years, from trans people and from doctors and medical associations that work with trans people, maybe it's okay for you to still entertain the notion that it's not science but talk show hosts who have it right, and trans kids are just actually mentally ill. We'll talk about that with journalist and trans rights activist Erin Reed, of Erin in the Morning.   The post Bryce Covert on Work Requirements / Erin Reed on Trans Care “Questions” appeared first on KPFA.

Since the mid-1990s, the U.S. social safety net has been geared towards policies that encourage and reward work. While steady jobs and decent wages are the surest routes out of poverty, evidence shows that safety-net work requirements rarely translate into higher employment among beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP–formerly known as “food stamps”). Diane Schanzenbach joins EconoFact Chats to explain how stricter mandates often push people off SNAP without pulling them into the labor market, a dynamic that becomes more relevant as Congress weighs bills that would make continued SNAP and Medicaid benefits contingent on having or actively seeking work. Diane is the Margaret Walker Alexander Professor of Human Development and Social Policy at Northwestern University. She is also a member of the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine. She recently testified in front of the House Committee on Agriculture on the issue of increasing SNAP's mandatory work requirements.

Republicans are moving quickly to push President Donald Trump's “one big, beautiful bill” by Memorial Day — a massive $10 trillion mix of tax breaks, benefit changes and border spending. On taxes, they'd make Trump's 2017 cuts permanent, plus exempt tips, overtime pay and up to $10,000 of interest on U.S.-built car loans. They also rolled back former President Joe Biden's clean energy credits to help cover roughly $3.7 trillion of that cost. Families earning under $400,000 would see the SALT cap jump from $10,000 to $30,000, and seniors could deduct up to $4,000 of Social Security income. For food stamps, states would begin paying 5% of benefit costs in 2028 and 75% of administrative expenses, while work requirements would extend up to age 63. Medicaid would add strict work and asset tests, putting coverage at risk for at least 7.6 million people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
