A graphic with the PPC logo at the top and black text on a yellow background. A hooded skeleton with a scythe is by the headline, "Terrible ways the Congressional Budget causes harm." Text reads, "The GOP's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since chattel slavery. Here is one of the worst things about it. It terrorizes immigrant families. The GOP budget provides $170 billion to arrest, detain, deport, and wall off migrants. That includes $45 billion for new immigration detention centers, including family detention facilities — a vast increase that will primarily benefit private companies contracted to build and run them.

Text reads, "The GOP's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since chattel slavery. Here is one of the worst things about it. It takes from the poor to give to the rich. The bill’s tax policies will overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest households. A Yale analysis of the bill’s combined tax and spending policies finds that the poorest 20 percent of households will suffer a net income loss of $700 per year on average, while the top 1 percent will get a $30,000 increase.

It will take food from the mouths of hungry people New work requirements for SNAP benefits will take food assistance from millions, including children and veterans. As with Medicaid, these new requirements will have little effect on employment—but will cause more children to go hungry.
