Debunking The Myths - July 1st, Hour 2

<p>Sean Hannity sits down with Kurt Couchman, Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy at Americans for Prosperity, to dismantle three persistent myths about the &ldquo;One Big Beautiful Bill.&rdquo; With facts and fiscal clarity, Couchman sets the record straight:</p> <p><strong>Myth #1</strong>: &ldquo;Only the wealthy benefited from the Trump tax cuts.&rdquo;<br /><strong>FACT: </strong>The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered across-the-board tax relief&mdash;from doubling the standard deduction to lowering rates at every income level.</p> <p><strong>Myth #2</strong>: &ldquo;The bill cuts Medicaid for those who depend on it.&rdquo;<br /><strong>FACT:</strong> Reforms focus on efficiency and restoring Medicaid&rsquo;s intended mission&mdash;not slashing support for vulnerable populations.</p> <p><strong>Myth #3: </strong>&ldquo;This bill explodes the deficit.&rdquo;<br /><strong>FACT:</strong> The real culprit is out-of-control spending&mdash;not tax cuts. Federal spending has tripled since 2001, while the 2017 cuts spurred growth, boosted incomes, and actually helped revenue. Growth, Couchman argues, is the antidote to deficits.</p> <p>A must-listen for anyone debating tax policy, entitlement reform, and fiscal responsibility.</p> <p><strong>Follow Sean and Our Guests on Social Media:</strong></p> <p><strong>Sean Hannity:</strong></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="facebook.com/SeanHannity">facebook.com/SeanHannity</a></p> <p>X (Twitter): <a href="x.com/seanhannity">x.com/seanhannity</a></p> <p>Truth Social: <a href="truthsocial.com/@SeanHannity">truthsocial.com/@SeanHannity</a></p> <p><strong>Kurt Couchman:</strong></p> <p>X (Twitter):&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/KurtCouchman">https://x.com/KurtCouchman</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
