    Also in this bill:

    Tax cuts for rich people while reducing benefits for the poor. When you factor in spending cuts to aid programs, those wealthiest households end up with an average 4 percent increase in after-tax income, while the bottom 20 percent of earners are docked by nearly that same percentage.

    The bill will increase the deficit by $4.1 trillion, including interest over the next decade.

    "no tax on tips" provision, with a $25,000 cap on the amount of tips workers can claim-experts say this means it will not help lower-income service workers.

     The bill includes both direct and indirect cuts to Medicaid spending.  CBO says the bureaucratic burden on beneficiaries will cut $280 billion in Medicaid spending over six years-in many cases because even many people who work (most recipients do) won't be able to navigate the red tape the bill imposes.  Nearly 12 million Americans will lose coverage as a result of the bill, according to CBO, mainly due to the burdensome new requirements places on Medicaid recipients, and steps that make it harder to sign up, like limited enrollment periods and new paperwork requirements. The bill excludes Planned Parenthood and some other providers from Medicaid, reducing access to birth control and other reproductive care. The cuts could also force more than 140 rural hospitals  to shut down obstetrics services or drastically curtail them.

    The bill will cut federal spending on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps poor people buy food, by an estimated $287 billion over a decade.  

    The bill slashes spending on clean energy likely leading to job losses and China's domination of the clean energy sector. It removes tax incentives for wind, solar, and other renewable energy projects.   It also ends subsidies of up to $7,500 for electronic vehicles purchased this year.
