(From Eighth District Congressman Jason Smith)
When President Donald Trump officially takes office on January 20, Republicans will be ready to hit the ground running to put in place the policies needed to make America great again. In fact, we can deliver on critical pieces of President Trump’s agenda very quickly by packaging tax reform, border security, and energy policy into “one big, beautiful bill”, as President Trump has referred to it.
As Chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, I’ve been working very closely with President Trump on a tax bill that will deliver relief to American workers, families, farmers, and small businesses.
On December 31, 2025, the 2017 Trump tax cuts – one of the biggest achievements of President Trump’s first term – will expire. If Congress fails to extend them, every American at every income level will get hit with higher taxes. Uncle Sam will take more money out of workers’ paychecks. Families will be forced to sell off farms that have been passed down through generations because the Death Tax exemption will be slashed in half. And small businesses will have to lay off workers or shut their doors for good because their taxes will double. Main street businesses will end up paying a top tax rate of 43.4% – 20 points higher than what businesses pay in Communist China. In addition to stopping these massive tax increases, we also need to add the new policies President Trump has called for, like eliminating taxes on tips and giving tax relief to Social Security recipients.
Time is of the essence. For four long years, working-class families have struggled to get by thanks to President Joe Biden’s failed economic agenda. Extending the Trump tax cuts as soon as possible will provide the certainty small businesses need to plan for the future, deliver much-needed relief to working-class families, and create the strongest economy the world has ever seen. Right now, main street businesses, manufacturers, and family farmers are making decisions based on what sort of tax and economic environment they think might be coming. With massive tax increases looming over the horizon, they need certainty so they can invest, grow, and hire today.
More American energy means more American jobs. That’s why it’s vital to include pro-growth energy policies in this big, beautiful bill. It means more drilling, better infrastructure, and getting rid of burdensome regulations. By unleashing American energy, we’ll lower utility bills for families who are struggling to put food on their tables and clothes on their backs. Lower gas prices will make it more affordable for Missouri farmers and ranchers to transport their agriculture products. And by spending less to keep the lights on and run machinery, small businesses that make things like floor tiles, car parts, and aluminum cans will have more resources to hire additional workers or upgrade their equipment. The pro-growth tax and energy policy in this big, beautiful bill will provide the foundation we need to make America’s economy the envy of the world.
The American people are sick and tired of paying the price for the Left’s open-border agenda, which is allowing terrorists, gang members, and drugs to pour over our southern border. By including President Trump’s tough immigration policies in this big, beautiful bill, we can quickly bring an end to the worst border crisis in decades. We cannot waste any time putting in place the policies we need to make our communities safe and border secure again – just like it was under the first Trump administration.
Passing one big, beautiful bill is the best way to ensure as much as possible of President Trump’s agenda is enacted. In one fell swoop, we can secure the border, unleash American energy, and deliver tax relief to workers, families, farmers, and small businesses. These are the policies the American people are demanding. Now it’s up to Congress to deliver.

Unbelievable. As many of you know I'm a fierce critic of this elected politician. Over and over again, this individual demonstrates all the depth and originality of the swill at the bottom of your consumed bottle of beer. Repeating verbatim, maga bullet points like his life and career depends on it ( probably true, don't want to disappoint the orange master). If this individual would stick his head out of the bottom of the bottle he would notice that the maga higher-ups ( isn't that an oxymoron?) have already declared this "one big beautiful bill" a disasterous demonstration of fantasy colliding with weak leadership. Seriously, magats, do you really believe this guy, both guys, has a handle on your best interests? If so, to satisfy your gullibility, I have some land to sell you in Greenland, and a lifetime of free beer from a brewery in Canada.
5:58AM, Yes, what we really need are more Democratic Ideas and Policies to Further Ruin America. Here is an OXYMORON - Wait - I was talking about Democrats - I meant to say - MORON!
What would it take to get you and other Demos to move to Greenland? Can you guys all go and setup a small socialistic commune? Do we need to start a Go-Fund-Me Page - We would all pitch in - GLADLY...
Again, Leftist Liberal Democrats - Never Ever Learn - You Lost the Presidential Race, the Senate and House Race - Because - Americans were tired of having - NO Economic Plans and Prices continually going up Including Interest Rates Doubling since Biden and Harris took Office.
Americans - Need Tax Cuts.
Americans - Need Cheaper Energy - to Keep America Moving. For Farmers to afford to farm and provide Farm to Table Food - which includes 1000's of Businesses.
Americans - Need Less Government in their Business and Personal Lives.
The Democratic Governor of California - Newscum - chose to save an extinct 3" fish instead of sending water from Northern California (From Rain and Snowfall) to Southern California to fight ‘apocalyptic’ wildfires - the 3" fish a worthless - called a smelt… but he didn’t care about the people of California. Now they have 24-Dead, 12,000 structures have been destroyed in fires, 17,000 acres burned, 1000's of cars destroyed and Billions and Billions of Total Loss of Homes / Personal Property - - On top of all that the Democratic LA Mayor Karen Bass - has been Cutting the Budget for Firefighters - Funding for the city's fire department decreased by $17.6 million, or 2%, between the 2024-25 fiscal year and the 2023-24 fiscal year, according to city budget documents. Several well to do Individuals had to Hire their Own Personal Fire Fighters and place them around their own Properties to try and Save them. Can You Imagine that - because their Democratic Governor and Democratic Mayor - Does not care about the People that Voted them to Serve in those Positions - WOW - OMG - Maybe this will be a Wake-Up-Call to all those Democrats across the Country - that the Democrats Make alot of Promises - Year After Year - But Never Follow Through!!! -
To the People in California and other Areas of the United States - We Pray for you and are so sorry for your Loses and the Loss of Life and Suffering that you have had to Endure - So Remember when you go to the Voting Booths - Next Time - You Know who you are Voting For - and See the Truth - Not the Lies and the False Promises - that have only caused you Tragedy after Tragedy.
Yes, We need more Democratic Ideas and Policies to Further Ruin America.
God Bless America - If we can Keep it out of the Hands of the Democrats.
When you overdose on the Metamucil and think it's a brainstorm...but it's not!
