Rep. Jason Smith, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri's 8th district since 2013, recently took to social media to discuss the passage of what he calls "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill." Smith has been serving in Congress following his tenure in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2005 to 2013. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, and currently residing in Salem, Smith holds degrees from the University of Missouri and Oklahoma City University.

On July 3, 2025, Rep. Jason Smith announced via Twitter that "Today, House Republicans made history by passing The One, Big, Beautiful Bill." He emphasized that this legislation represents "the LARGEST tax cut in American history" and is expected to usher in an "economic Golden Age."

In a subsequent tweet on the same day at 20:57 UTC, Smith highlighted another aspect of the bill stating that "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill strengthens the Paid Family and Medical Leave Credit." This measure builds upon previous tax cuts implemented during the Trump administration aimed at benefiting American workers.

Later at 21:08 UTC on July 3rd, Smith elaborated further on the bill's provisions by noting that "Thanks to The One, Big, Beautiful Bill," employers will now have access to a larger Employer-Provided Childcare Credit. This credit is designed to benefit both families and small businesses.
