This weekend the House Republicans sought to get Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”<\/em> (BBB) passed in the Budget Committee. They failed on their first attempt. Then tried again in a post-midnight session with marginal success as four Republican opponents to the bill voted “present”<\/em> in order to allow it to advance to the Rules Committee.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

These are the kinds of childish stunts that the GOP trots out in order to stumble forward in their efforts to implement the ultra-rightist MAGA agenda and to placate Dear Leader Trump. It isn’t easy to force unpopular policies by an unpopular president down the throats of the American people. Particularly when you have a narrow legislative majority that is divided between hardcore conservatives and frightened moderates. Not to mention a president who doesn’t have the slightest idea what he’s doing.<\/p>\n

On Monday morning Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded to a question about the BBB’s estimated costs and how it would contribute to the national deficit. To no one’s surprise, Leavitt outright lied through her teeth…<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> Is the president okay with this bill adding to the deficit?
\nLeavitt:<\/strong> This bill does not add to the deficit. In fact. according to the Council of Economic Advisers, this bill will save $1.6 trillion. And the president absolutely understands and hears the concerns of fiscal conservatives and of Americans who want to get our fiscal house in order. That\u2019s what the intention of this bill is.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s $1.6 trillion worth of savings in this bill. That\u2019s the largest savings for any legislation that has ever passed Capitol Hill in our nation\u2019s history. The next bill that even comes close was $800 billion. That’s less than half of the savings that we see in the One Big Beautiful Bill. And so, the goal of this bill is to produce economic growth, to cut taxes and to get our fiscal house in order. And this is the right step in the right direction towards doing that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
