The political landscape is shifting as President Trump unveils his ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill, which aims to modernize our air traffic control system and bolster American jobs. This initiative is not just a policy change; it’s a bold step towards revitalizing America’s infrastructure and enhancing our economic strength.
One Big Beautiful Bill Modernizes Air Traffic Control
As reported by the White House, the One Big Beautiful Bill allocates $12.5 billion to update our aging air traffic control system. This funding is crucial, as stated by Secretary Sean P. Duffy, who emphasized the long-overdue need for modernization. Our current system has been a relic, hindering efficiency and safety in our air travel.
Higher Pay for American Workers
The One Big Beautiful Bill isn’t just about infrastructure; it’s also about lifting up American workers. According to a report from the White House, the Trump Effect is real. Industries like leisure, hospitality, and transportation are seeing job growth as a result of Trump’s policies. Specifically, we’ve seen +48,000 new jobs in leisure and hospitality and +5,800 in transportation and warehousing. This is a clear message that Trump’s approach to economic policy is yielding results.
