The unemployment rate has increased, job growth is slowing, inflation is soaring, consumer confidence is tanking, and retail sales are weakening. Now, with his misnamed One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) signed into law, states such as Michigan are bracing for ugly economic consequences.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the Michigan Senate Appropriations Committee convened a group of experts today to examine the impact of these federal cuts on Michigan\u2019s state budget and economy. Today\u2019s hearing included testimony from the Michigan Dept. of Health and Human Services, The Corner Health Center, Detroit Disability Power, MI Community Dental Centers, University of Michigan and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s so-called <i>Big Beautiful Bill<\/i> is anything but beautiful if you\u2019re a middle-class family just trying to make ends meet,\u201d said Sen. <b>Sarah Anthony<\/b> (D-Lansing), Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. \u201cThis bill is not only cruel \u2014 ripping away health care and food assistance from folks who are already struggling \u2014 it\u2019s fiscally reckless. It will balloon our national debt, blow a massive hole in our state budget, and jeopardize the long-term health of our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The Fiscal Impact<\/b>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><p>The hearing featured presentations from state departments, educational institutions, and advocacy organizations. Their overwhelming consensus: this legislation will have devastating effects on the state\u2019s economic forecast. According to a recent <span><u><a id=\"OWA29874647-f2d7-747d-c497-37b3bfac81a7\" class=\"x_Hyperlink x_SCXW214191899 x_BCX0 x_OWAAutoLink\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/crcmich.org\/PUBLICAT\/2020s\/2025\/SBN2025-01-OBBBA_and_its_Impact_on_Michigans_Budget.pdf\" data-linkindex=\"2\" title=\"https:\/\/crcmich.org\/PUBLICAT\/2020s\/2025\/SBN2025-01-OBBBA_and_its_Impact_on_Michigans_Budget.pdf\">Citizens Research Council report<\/a><\/u><\/span>, the OBBBA is projected to blow a $1 billion hole in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget and lead to a steep, immediate decline in revenue upwards of $677 million. Coupled with new barriers to essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP, these cuts will strip Michigan families of vital safety net services and leave lawmakers with fewer tools to help them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver half a million people in our state are projected to lose health coverage, and tens of thousands are at risk of losing SNAP benefits. It\u2019s sometimes said that one loss is a tragedy while one million losses is a statistic, and in this case, it\u2019s crucial to remind ourselves that we&#8217;re not just talking about statistics and data. We\u2019re talking about real Michiganders. Real families who won\u2019t have access to what makes them healthy. Real communities that are going to lose hospitals and other medical facilities. Real farmers who are going to lose income because of cuts to SNAP. And real people all over the state who will pay the price of this federal catastrophe,\u201d said <b>Monique Stanton<\/b>, President &amp; CEO, Michigan League for Public Policy. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to leaders in Michigan who take these cuts seriously and put their constituents first. We urge all lawmakers to do the same and protect Michiganders from harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In past committee meetings, Senate Democrats have highlighted how sweeping Medicaid cuts would strip health coverage from 750,000 Michiganders, threaten thousands of health care jobs across Michigan and deal a projected $2.9 billion blow to the state\u2019s economy. Rural communities would be hit especially hard as 30% of Michigan\u2019s remaining rural hospitals operate with negative margins, and nearly a third of rural hospitals are at risk of closing their doors altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Massive cuts to SNAP are also projected to have negative rippling effects through the state\u2019s economy as well. During the hearing, Dr. <b>Quintin Tyler<\/b> from Michigan State University Extension shared that their <span><u><a id=\"OWAa91f62d2-f0be-9ae5-658b-5fd025fbdcc7\" class=\"x_Hyperlink x_SCXW214191899 x_BCX0 x_OWAAutoLink\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/news\/2025\/07\/layoffs-hit-msu-as-federal-cuts-end-30-year-food-program-for-low-income-families.html\" data-linkindex=\"3\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/news\/2025\/07\/layoffs-hit-msu-as-federal-cuts-end-30-year-food-program-for-low-income-families.html\">30-year SNAP-Ed food program<\/a><\/u><\/span> is expecting to lose more than $10 million in federal funding, resulting in them having to cut nearly 100 positions, including community nutrition instructors, educators, and other staff throughout the state. As a result, Michigan schools will lose their only health program for students, and their partners will lose access to resources and expertise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLosing this program means losing our ability to teach parents how to prepare healthy meals for their children, to help seniors navigate grocery stores with healthy choices in mind, and to support community gardens that increase access to fresh produce,\u201d Dr. <b>Tyler <\/b>said in testimony before today\u2019s committee. \u201cWhen you eliminate a program like SNAP-Ed, you just don&#8217;t just cut an item in a budget \u2014 you erase lifelines at schools, neighborhoods, and communities that already carry the weight of health disparities and economic strain. You also lose a highly trained and deeply embedded professional workforce, people whose roots were firmly planted in Michigan\u2019s counties they served, people who reinvested their salaries into other Michigan businesses, people who help children eat better and families stretch their food dollars further. This program was a legacy that supported schools, strengthened farms, and empowered children and families to become healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Farmers will also take a hit as a result of SNAP cuts. In addition to the federally funded programs that buy directly from Michigan farms to stock homes, schools, and child care centers, an increasing number of farmers markets accept SNAP dollars, giving the 1.5 million Michiganders who rely on the program easy access to healthy, locally grown produce.
