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!!
