    WASHINGTON - Elon Musk is once again slamming President Donald Trump's
    "big, beautiful" bill that's continuing to make its way through Congress.

    Trump is pushing for the bill on tax breaks and spending cuts to be on his
    desk to be signed into law by the Fourth of July, and he's pushing the slow-rolling Senate to make it happen sooner rather than later.

    What they're saying:
    "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk posted on his site X, as some lawmakers have expressed reservations about the details. "Shame on those who voted for
    it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

    Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump's bill "is ugly to its
    very core."

    Schumer said Tuesday senators should listen to Musk. "Behind the smoke and mirrors lies a cruel and draconian truth: tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy
    paid for by gutting health care for millions of Americans," said the New
    York senator.

    The other side:
    "Passing THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL is a Historic Opportunity to turn
    our Country around," Trump posted on social media. He urged them Monday
    "to work as fast as they can to get this Bill to MY DESK before the Fourth
    of JULY."

    Speaker Mike Johnson called Musk�s harsh criticism of the bill "very disappointing."

    "With all due respect," said Johnson, who said he spoke with Musk for more
    than 20 minutes, "my friend Elon is terribly wrong about the one big
    beautiful bill."

    What is the �big, beautiful, bill?�
    Why you should care:
    At its core, the package seeks to extend the tax cuts approved in 2017,
    during Trump's first term at the White House, and add new ones the
    presidents campaigned on, including no taxes on tips and others. It also includes a massive build-up of $350 billion for border security,
    deportations and national security.

    To defray the lost tax revenue to the government and avoid piling onto the nation's $36 trillion debt load, Republicans want reduce federal spending
    by imposing work requirements for some Americans who rely on government
    safety net services. Estimates are 8.6 million people would no longer have health care and nearly 4 million would lose Supplemental Nutritional
    Assistance Program benefits, known as SNAP.

    The package also would raise the nation's debt limit by $4 trillion to
    allow more borrowing to pay the bills.

    What's next:
    The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is expected to soon provide an overall analysis of the package's impacts on the government balance
    sheets. But Republicans are ready to blast those findings from the congressional scorekeeper as flawed.

    The July 4th deadline is not only aspirational for the president, it's all
    but mandatory for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who has warned Congress
    that the nation will run out of money to pay its bills if the debt
    ceiling, now at $36 trillion, is not lifted by mid-July or early August to allow more borrowing. Bessent has also been meeting behind closed doors
    with senators and GOP leadership.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
