July 9 (UPI) -- Make no mistake: President Donald Trump's signing of the one Big Beautiful Bill into law on July Fourth, inadvertently or not, has bet the nation's future on whether the BBB will work as envisaged or will create the equivalent of a political and economic trainwreck.

How can that be? Could any law have that potential impact for success or failure?

Consider these realities: Not since 1860 has the nation been so politically divided over not a single, but every issue. Trust and confidence in government have eroded to where the legitimacy to govern sensibly is in grave doubt.

The BBB will be fuel that fires the resentment Democrats have for its passage and supercharges excessive Republican zeal for how the bill will transform America for the better.
