About this episode
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in. The Senate Parliament has rejected a central Medicaid provision in the Senate GOP’s sweeping budget bill, delivering a significant setback to Republican efforts to reduce federal spending. In addition, the Big Beautiful Bill is a determent to the Democratic agenda, which is why there are efforts to oppose it. If the bill does not pass, taxes could rise significantly, placing a heavy financial burden on average households. Estimates suggest that families could face an increase of up to $3,900 in annual taxes, which leads to increased financial strain, requiring people to work more or rely on government assistance. Lastly, one of the bill’s key components involves encouraging NATO allies to contribute more to shared defense costs. Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, the U.S. has invested approximately $404 billion into NATO, and the bill proposes using tariffs as a way to balance these contributions. Advocates believe this approach would help ensure that other countries share the financial responsibility, making this another reason to support the bill. Learn more about your ad choices.
