I've read a dozen or more articles about this thing, and not a single
one shows how it helps most Americans. What I do see are tax
credits many use going away, impacts to medicare and medicaid that'll
cause many to loose it, and trillions added to the nationan deficit.
So many republicans voted contrary to what they campaigned about
like not affecting medicare/medicaid. Just not seeing how this helps
anyone other than those who are the most vulnerable. Thoughts?

recently, and I think a couple things stuck out. For one thing, it sounds like
they're trying to reduce abuse of the medicaid system by increasing standards (i.e., if you're able to work, they want you to work). Also, there are tax cuts and an increase in the maximum standard deduction, which would mean more money back to you for most people.
i havent looked into it but no tax on tips and no fed tax on OT is nice.
i do a lot of overtime. but it's a tax credit. we need to make a law instead of temporary changes.
Interesting. Is part of the plan helping the people able to work to find work that they can make enough to live off of, or at least to give them the opportunity to look for work?
Not sure now we are post-COVID, etc., but unemployment used to sort of work that way. It was "your money" because you paid into it, but you did have to prove you were looking for work (if they asked) in order to keep drawing it.

I am a little skeptical on the no tax on OT. I think it is nice,
in theory. Having worked with people who'd find any way possible
to create opportunities for getting OT (while screwing up a project timeline), I would prefer not to be dragged into their
"opportunities" now that they can make even more $$$ doing it.

I don't know, but I doubt that would be part of the Big Beautiful Bill. In my state, at least, helping people look for work already happens when someone
filed for unemployment benefits.

regarding people dragging out work for overtime. your boss is a big boy and he should handle that problem if it occurs.
Government jobs are very averse to giving overtime.You may have hit on the problem. Most bosses are not big boys or gir least not in office work. So the reality is that some folks will dra out and, unless their work is piss poor, they are not likely to see m the way of consequences.
