U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett has cast his vote in favor of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The bill, which is a reconciliation measure, aims to further President Trump’s agenda by extending tax cuts, promoting American energy, and enhancing border security. It also features what is described as the largest mandatory spending cut in history.
Congressman Burchett expressed his support for the bill, stating, “President Trump and Congress have a mandate from the American people to implement the President’s agenda into law. I am proud to stand with President Trump in his fight to take back our country.”
The legislation seeks to renew Trump’s previous tax cuts and includes measures such as no taxes on tips, incentives for American-made automobiles, and tax breaks for seniors on social security. Burchett emphasized the impact of these cuts on Tennessee families: “Without these important tax cuts, a family of four in Tennessee making $67,000 would see their taxes increase by $1,300 in 2026. That is unacceptable, and I will always fight to keep more money in the pockets of hard-working Tennesseans.”
Additionally, the bill proposes changes to Medicaid aimed at eliminating waste and fraud while closing loopholes that allow benefits for deceased individuals or illegal aliens. According to Burchett, “Illegals, able-bodied adults choosing not to work, and people who weren’t eligible for Medicaid in the first place are going to destroy Medicaid for vulnerable and deserving Americans. This bill protects and preserves Medicaid to ensure it better serves the least amongst us.”
