This week on Chilling With The Chaplins, we’re peeling back the layers of what the media is calling the “Big Beautiful Bill.” But is it really beautiful for the people, or just for the pockets of the powerful? In Big Beautiful Bill: Who Wins & Who Loses? | Episode 157, we explore the fine print, the fiscal reality, and the fallout for everyday citizens.

From tax adjustments and the SALT cap drama to the impact on small businesses and the phase-out of the QBI deduction, we examine how this newly passed legislation affects housing, medical insurance, SSI, and welfare, particularly for low-income individuals and the middle class. Who’s cashing in, and who’s being left behind?

Whether you're a working parent, freelancer, or entrepreneur trying to stay afloat, this conversation was made for you.
