One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act marks the most significant investment in our farm economy in decades and delivers the most sweeping reforms to SNAP since the program's creation.

We are saving nearly $200 billion by restoring integrity to SNAP, closing loopholes, reinforcing work, and ending unchecked State abuse, all while preserving the program for the truly vulnerable.

At the same time, we are delivering $120 billion in deficit reduction and saving 2 million family farms from the death tax. We strengthen the farm safety net; invest in trade, research, and rural communities; and help keep ag innovation here in the United States of America, not in China.

This is a downpayment on the farm bill, and the rest is coming soon. Make no mistake, this is a generational win for rural America.

I thank Agriculture Committee members for their continued work in developing and advancing this policy. We are protecting taxpayers, helping low-income Americans return to work, and securing the future of American agriculture in our rural communities.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers on President Trump's campaign promises, and it is a win for the American people.
