Congressman Bean Votes to Deliver Relief and Prosperity for Hardworking Americans
WASHINGTON—U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean spoke on the House floor early this morning in support of the One Big Beautiful Bill, landmark legislation that would provide tax relief for American families and businesses.
Congressman Bean: Mr. Speaker, it’s a scary time to be a taxpayer in the United States or those that own a small business. Both are facing a tsunami of tax increases, the largest in U.S. history.
But Mr. Speaker, I’ve got good news…help is on the way! The One Big Beautiful Bill is real tax relief for real Americans. It’s for those that are paid in tips, hourly workers that are working overtime, for families, and seniors who have been struggling under the weight of inflation. And it is for the 91% of Americans who use the standard deduction. The bill expands the Child Tax Credit, it secures our border, enhances education and health savings options, it unleashes American energy, it will encourage production on U.S. soil. Made In America will mean something once more.
So, buckle up America, and put your seat in the upright position because with the passage of this bill, the Golden Age of America is ready for takeoff. I yield back.

BACKGROUND
Several of Congressman Bean’s bills were included in the tax relief package:
Puts American families in control of their health care: The bill expands upon Congressman Bean’s Flexible Savings Arrangements for Healthy Robust America (FSA-HRA) Act, to give Americans the flexibility to plan, save, and take charge of health care decisions for their families.
Cutting wasteful spending: The bill incorporates several key provisions included in Congressman Bean’s Cutting Unobligated Tumultuous Spending Act to slash wasteful Green New Deal initiatives and claw back unspent Covid funds, saving tens of billions of dollars.
Work Requirements for Medicaid: The bill includes H.R. 1279, authored by Congressman Bean, to reform work requirements for able-bodied adults. The requirements apply to adults receiving Medicaid benefits who are not in school and have no dependents.
