No Matter How You Look at It, the Big Beautiful Bill is a Monstrosity
Here are three views of the bill's horrific distributional consequences.
It appears that the worker takeover of what remains of industrial America will be short lived. The other day the Senate shot down the possibility of bankruptcy judges being able to alter the terms of first mortgages, citing the "sanctity of contracts." Considering that the big worry here is how to finance the commitments to retired workers, it will be interesting how much concern these same Senators for the contracts of auto workers.
