Double Dipping Debauchery

S01EP014 - The 2026 Poverty Cliff: OBBBA and the New Double Dippers

Episode Synopsis


In this episode, we tackle the "Poverty Cliff" created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). We analyze how the expiration of ACA subsidies and the $187 billion cut to SNAP have empowered corporate "Double Dippers" to further exploit the working class. We lay out the progressive case for a "Corporate Subsidy Fee" to force billion-dollar companies to reimburse taxpayers for the public assistance their underpaid employees require.
