Scott Bessent, Sec of Treasury: BESSENT: You're referring to the CBO scoring I believe, which is DC-style scoring

[riversedge]

Every article I have read says the Trump-Musk-House Repug bill will ADD to National DEBT!!
Obviously the Trump folks have their own scoring scale or whatever you call it!!

**The Senate vows they will make changes to the House bill--but IMHO--if changes ARE made it take from those less able to give!!

FOX: This bill adds trillions to our debt. How is that acceptable to the administration?

4. He knows better. He's just fully in the obsequious cult now

Craven capitulation in order to stay within the inner circle.

Disgusting and truly amoral. He knows that adding trillions to the US debt will ruin us but he simply can’t admit that or he’d be out.

Fuck this guy
