Former US President Joe Biden criticized Trump's "big and beautiful" tax and spending bill in a post on the social media platform "X". Biden said that the Republican budget bill is not only reckless, but also cruel. It cuts Medicaid and takes away health care from millions of Americans. It closes rural hospitals and cuts food assistance for veterans and the elderly. It inflates energy bills and could lead to major cuts in health insurance while adding $4 trillion to the deficit. All of this is to give billionaires massive tax cuts. Former Vice President Harris also said that Republicans in Congress voted to destroy millions of people across our country - kicking Americans out of health care, closing hospitals, eliminating food assistance and raising costs.
