The Senate budget bill, dubbed the "One Beautiful Bill Act," faces opposition for its severe cuts to Medicaid, significant rollbacks in clean energy tax credits, and a proposed $5 trillion debt ceiling hike. Critics, including around 150 organizations, warn that it would facilitate the sale of millions of acres of public land across Western states, affecting natural habitats and outdoor activities. This budget plan is seen as a move to fund tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of ordinary Americans' access to recreational spaces and the environment.
The Senate budget bill threatens a significant sell-off of public lands, potentially divesting 2-3 million acres, while raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
The bill is criticized for prioritizing billionaire tax breaks over public access to recreational areas and contradicting the environmental protection ethos.
