In this episode of Money Elementary, Heidi, Vanessa, and MEIA break down the political novela that is the “Big Beautiful Bill.” MEIA dishes on how the bill promises tax cuts, border spending, and energy shakeups—but also slices away at social programs, sparking some serious side-eye from Democrats. Heidi wonders if it’s a power move or a financial facepalm, while Vanessa’s trying to figure out if her paycheck just got ghosted. Meanwhile, MEIA connects the dots between defense dollars, debt ceilings, and why Rand Paul said “nah.” It’s spicy, it’s messy, and it’s your money on the line—so tune in before Congress changes the channel again.
