Dear Mr. MemphisTV, Thank you for taking the time to contact me about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  I always appreciate hearing from Tennesseans, and I take your thoughts seriously. The One Big Beautiful Bill is a historic step in restoring and protecting the American dream for generations to come; the dream to own a home; to raise a family; to have a good-paying job; to give our children a better life and future than the previous generation.  That is why I came to the Senate—to help leave Tennessee, and our nation, a better place for our children. This legislation delivers the single largest tax cut in American history.  It provides unprecedented and permanent tax relief for small businesses.  It eliminates federal taxes on tips and overtime pay.  It lowers the tax burden for seniors on Social Security, while the child tax credit and standard deduction are increased.  These policies will drive economic growth and increase employment opportunities for working families.     Our federal government must be a responsible steward of Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars.  The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers a historic reduction in wasteful spending, and takes critical steps to preserve Medicaid for the most vulnerable while strengthening our rural hospitals.  We roll back failed, Biden-era Green New Deal subsidies.  We block taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood to protect the unborn.  We are getting working-age men and women back into the workforce.  Smart energy policy will unleash domestic energy production and lower costs for all Americans. The legislation will make every American safer, too.  Unprecedented funding for border security will allow President Trump to finish the wall, secure our border, and give law enforcement the tools to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities.  Further, it makes critical investments to ensure our military men and women have the tools they need to keep us safe. This bill will usher in—as President Trump has called it—the Golden Age of America and deliver on his promise to Make America Great Again.  I am pleased that, together, we have delivered on the president’s promises and set the stage for the great American comeback. Thank you again for writing.  I encourage you to continue following my efforts to serve all Tennesseans and to provide feedback.  Please accept my best wishes.                                                                           Sincerely,                                                                                                                                               Bill Hagerty                                                                          United States Senator    Follow me on social media!
