Lemme ’splain: calling it a “big beautiful bill” doesn’t make the maths prettier. If you cut taxes and don’t cut spending, the deficit goes up. That’s not ideology. That’s just arithmetic wearing sensible shoes.

I have a suggestion for my Democrat colleagues: Read the bill before you lie about it! This bill doesn’t cut Medicaid for the vulnerable, it protects it. It doesn’t cut taxes for billionaires either, it cuts taxes for WORKING Americans. That’s why I’m proud to support it.

If the Liberals cared about feeding families, they would cut the taxes that make food expensive. They won’t. Because ideology matters more to them than whether you can afford to feed your kids. That’s not compassion. That’s cruelty.

Let’s be real: spending $1.5 trillion we don’t have isn’t a plan, it’s a fantasy. We already have a deficit, and their solution is to dig the hole deeper? That’s not just unserious -- it’s irresponsible. It is time they cut the nonsense and put the American people first.

BREAKING: Elon Musk comes out against Trump’s “Big beautiful bill”. “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing. I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both.”

The One Big Beautiful Bill did not cut Medicaid benefits. It closed the provider tax loophole that allowed states to manufacture fake Medicaid spending, bill Washington for it, and pocket federal cash.

Trump’s & Biden’s runaway spending caused the inflation that's hurt so many families. The next president will have to clean up the mess. That’s what I did as governor. We created jobs, cut taxes & cut wasteful spending. They don’t call SC the Beast of the Southeast for nothing!

If you like higher taxes, open borders, a weak military and unchecked government spending, the One Big Beautiful Bill is your nightmare.

Congress is trying to pass a bill they’re calling “big” and “beautiful.” It will cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits. The working class must say NO to this bill.

Sen. Ron Johnson: “It’s a mistake to do one big beautiful bill. We’re actually going to add to the deficit… It’s not a big beautiful bill. That’s called rhetoric. It’s mislabelling. It’s false advertising.”

Rachel Reeves made her choice today – and it’s the wrong one. She should have cut spending. Cut tax. Backed business. Got growth. That’s how you make everyone better off.

We have to do two things, cut our spending and grow our economy. I believe that the One Big Beautiful Bill does just that.

The One Big Beautiful Bill tax cut is returning money to the American people’s pockets. But don’t take my word for it. Just pick up the phone and ask a random American about their tax refund.

RAY DALIO Lays Out How DOGE Can Save America From a Debt Spiral: Ray Dalio has a three part plan: ✅ Cut HARD -- goal: get the annual deficit down to 3% of GDP -- this would mean cutting the projected 2025 deficit by more than half -- $900B+ in cuts to a ~$1.8T 2025 deficit gets us ~3% ✅ Cut FAST -- the faster you cut, the less you have to cut ✅ Own the number -- everyone in government should galvanize around this Dalio on the urgency to make cuts NOW: " Do it soon, when the economy's good." "In other words, do it now." "If you have a bad economy, you cannot do it." Dalio on bond and interest rate impacts: " The other thing about it is to realize that if you make those moves, the bond market will benefit." david friedberg: " If the federal government were to cut spending significantly and quickly, the market would naturally react to lower rates." As Elon Musk mentions in the clip below, cutting spending lowers inflation, which eventually lowers interest payments and makes bonds more attractive for investors. Friedberg on avoiding the arithmetic death spiral: " The longer we wait, the more you have to cut in the future to get out of the hole." "And ultimately, this is the arithmetic death spiral that you get into." "I think that is so important for any person in government listening: the faster you cut, the less you have to cut."

The Democrats’ billionaire tax is already a complete disaster—just the THREAT of it has driven billions in wealth and tax revenue out of California. We need to cut spending and cut taxes, not double down on failure.
