Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is disgracefully increasing the deficit. Perhaps they should be addressing this instead of trashing one of the few members of congress who is actually trying to stop our suicidal debt spiral.

It looks like it will.

Nonpartisan Estimates: The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the bill will add approximately $3.3 trillion to the national debt through 2034. If temporary tax cuts are extended beyond their expiration dates, the increase could reach $5.3 trillion.

The Penn Wharton Budget Model projects an increase in primary deficits of $3.3 trillion over 10 years, with the national debt rising by 7.2% in the same period.

The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the tax provisions alone would reduce federal revenues by $4.1 trillion from 2025 to 2034, contributing to a $3.3 trillion deficit increase on a dynamic basis.

Bloomberg reports the bill’s cost at $3.8 trillion over 10 years, noting this may be a lowball estimate due to temporary tax cuts potentially being extended.

Newsweek cites a range of $3.3 trillion to $5.7 trillion added to the debt through 2034, depending on how provisions are implemented.

White House Claims: The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, claims the bill will save $1.6 trillion, citing a preliminary Congressional Budget Office estimate of $1.695 trillion in deficit reduction. However, this figure is disputed by fiscal watchdogs who argue the bill’s $3.8 trillion in tax cuts far outweigh the proposed spending reductions.
