What do we get out of Trump's Big Budget Bomb?

By Ezra Klein / The New York Times

For reasons I will not pretend to understand, we live in an age when the only truly bipartisan idea is that landmark legislation demands triple-B alliteration. President Joe Biden’s signature proposal was Build Back Better. Now, President Donald Trump has yoked his presidency — and all of us — to his “big, beautiful bill.”

Let me suggest another name for it. I’ll even stay on trend: Big Budget Bomb.

It’s always possible things will change. But as of now, the damage this bill will do to the budget if it detonates is hard to properly convey — in part because the size of this thing is hard to properly convey.

And the budget, to be honest, is where the problems this bill would cause only begin. But we have to start somewhere.
