35 Wealthy Republicans Enrich Themselves While Millions Lose Food, Healthcare
Accountable.US revealed that dozens of wealthy Republican lawmakers, collectively worth over $2.5 billion, stand to benefit significantly from the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill, which passed the House, would simultaneously slash vital social programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and federal student aid, impacting millions of constituents. The report highlights that the wealthiest Republican senators and representatives, many holding key committee positions, are poised to gain from tax breaks while their constituents face reduced access to healthcare, nutrition assistance, and higher education. This disparity underscores the potential ethical conflict inherent in the legislation. Opposition within the GOP, though minimal, did exist.
