CBO Numbers Rock Washington
A new report just detonated in Washington. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed President Trumpโs new bill will cut taxes by $3.75 trillionโbut also increase the national deficit by a staggering $2.4 trillion over the next decade.
Even more alarming, over 10.9 million people could lose health insurance. That includes more than a million undocumented immigrants relying on state-funded programs.
Musk Slams Bill as Public Outrage Mounts
Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined the backlash. โThis bill is a disgusting abomination,โ he declared. Formerly a top Trump ally, Muskโs condemnation sent shockwaves through political circles.
Rep. Brendan Boyle, a top House Democrat, echoed the sentiment. โRepublicans cry crocodile tears over debtโthen explode it,โ he said.
The CBOโs analysis landed just as Trump pressures Congress to pass the 1,000+ page package by July 4.
White House Launches Damage Control
The White House responded fast. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the CBOโs findings as unreliable. She accused the budget office of historical errors and bias.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune doubled down. He blamed underestimates from the CBO on inflation spikes during COVID-19.
Critics say the administration is trying to discredit bad news before it sinks in.
Cuts, Tax Breaks, and Debt Skyrocketing
Trumpโs โOne Big Beautiful Bill Actโ extends his 2017 tax breaks, removes taxes on tips, and pumps $350 billion into border security and deportations.
But that money has to come from somewhere. Republicans plan to slash federal programs like Medicaid and food stamps. New work requirements could kick in by late 2026.
The plan also raises the national debt ceiling by $4 trillionโpushing the limit to $40 trillion.
Families Fear Health and Food Losses
The CBO warns 8.6 million people could lose Medicaid coverage. Another 4 million may lose food stamps every month.
Democrats say the GOP bill targets the most vulnerable. โThis is cruelty in the name of budgeting,โ said Sen. Patty Murray.
The human toll of the bill is becoming a rallying cry online and on Capitol Hill.
Bill Called โBig Uglyโ by Opponents
Trumpโs allies call it beautiful. His enemies have another name: โThe Big Ugly Bill.โ
Opposition is growing, not just from Democrats. Some conservative Republicans are worried about long-term debt and backlash from working-class voters.
Despite full GOP control of Congress, passing the bill wonโt be easy.
Whatโs Next: High Stakes Showdown Ahead
With July 4 looming, the legislative clock is ticking. Trump wants the bill on his desk before Independence Day.
Protests are already erupting across cities. Economists warn that deficits could cripple future generations.
Elon Muskโs rebuke has emboldened critics. The pressure is buildingโand the fireworks might explode before the holiday does.
