The U.S. Senate Passes the "Big and Beautiful" Bill, U.S. Legislators Condemn It as "Robbing the Poor to Benefit the Rich"

On July 1 local time, the U.S. Senate narrowly passed the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill. Some Democratic senators accused the Senate version of the bill of being "robbing the poor to benefit the rich."

Michael Bennet, a Democratic Senator from Colorado: These policies benefit the wealthiest Americans while abandoning working-class and middle-class families.

Chris Murphy, a Democratic Senator from Connecticut: If you are going to destroy people's lives by taking away health insurance or cutting food stamps, don't add insult to injury by giving money to the richest people in this country.

Mark Kelly, a Democratic Senator from Arizona: Giving tax breaks to the wealthiest groups and the most profitable corporations is a choice. And the cost of that choice is kicking 17 million Americans out of the health insurance system, which is also a choice.
