At least one Senator has said he's just quitting
his job after all the major political BS - both
sides - surrounding the bill. A number of Republicans
are still opposed because it's not as fiscally
conservative as they want, others because it hurts
certain useful programs like Medicaid. Dems won't
vote for it "just because".
Rand Paul hates *everything* ... but that gives his
little clique massive political leverage.
And it still has to be sent back to Congress.
The BBB is a weird mix - alas increases the national
debt considerably, expands funding in some areas.
Trump says that it's a cornerstone - and that his
trade manipulations will make up the money many
times over.
So is it the Big Beautiful Bill - or just the Big
BIG Bill ? Kind of depends on perspective. Sorry,
no pat answers here, it's WAY to complicated.
Borrow lots of money, spend big, let your
kids pay the bill.
But hey, as long as Trump isn't president
when it blows up then it doesn't matter.
Trump shrugs off future debt crisis: "I won't be here"
December 05, 2018
President Trump is dismissing the importance
of paying down the national debt, saying he
won't be in office to take blame for the
nation's fiscal crisis when it becomes even
more unsustainable, according to a report
Wednesday.
The national debt sits at $21 trillion and
counting. As a candidate, when the national
debt was $19 trillion, Trump promised to
erase the entire debt "over a period of eight
years."
Trump said the data showed the national debt
would only become untenable after he left
office, the Daily Beast reported.
"Yeah, but I won't be here, Trump said.
