The GOP's budget reconciliation bill, recently passed by the House, has raised alarms due to its potential adverse effects on transportation and environmental policies. Experts warn that cutting key programs will undermine Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and clean energy initiatives. One of the most significant impacts will be the elimination of tax credits for electric vehicles by the end of 2025, which jeopardizes targets for decarbonizing transportation. The legislation appears primarily designed to benefit the wealthiest Americans while increasing the national deficit, raising concerns among advocates for social and environmental justice.
The GOP's 'one big, beautiful' budget bill is 'big, bad' news for America's transportation future, environmental groups warn, unless advocates can organize to get the Republican-controlled Senate to fix it.
The legislation will benefit the top 0.1 percent of wealthiest Americans by an average of $255,000 a year, or about $700 a day.
