Sean Hannity sits down with Kurt Couchman, Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy at Americans for Prosperity, to dismantle three persistent myths about the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” With facts and fiscal clarity, Couchman sets the record straight:
Myth #1: “Only the wealthy benefited from the Trump tax cuts.”
FACT: The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered across-the-board tax relief—from doubling the standard deduction to lowering rates at every income level.
Myth #2: “The bill cuts Medicaid for those who depend on it.”
FACT: Reforms focus on efficiency and restoring Medicaid’s intended mission—not slashing support for vulnerable populations.
Myth #3: “This bill explodes the deficit.”
FACT: The real culprit is out-of-control spending—not tax cuts. Federal spending has tripled since 2001, while the 2017 cuts spurred growth, boosted incomes, and actually helped revenue. Growth, Couchman argues, is the antidote to deficits.
A must-listen for anyone debating tax policy, entitlement reform, and fiscal responsibility.
