Colorado Legislators are crying over the fact that the state needs a $1 billion budget cut due to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
And, as usual, the corporate media is helping push their narrative.
But what none of the headlines mention is that the loss of revenue for the State Legislature is a huge win for taxpayers!
The budget shortfall is due to massive tax cuts that are returning $1.2 billion back into the Colorado economy.
Tax cuts are exactly what Coloradans, who are strapped for cash, need!
In this video, Brandon highlights the bias in the media and the legislators, and explains how a $1 billion tax cut is an incredible win for Colorado.
