More fear budget bill will just add crushing debt – Washington Examiner
The article discusses concerns regarding President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which aims to address tax adn spending issues. Fiscal conservatives fear that this legislation could exacerbate the already significant national debt of $37 trillion. A recent survey indicates that 84% of likely voters are worried about the debt, and a two-to-one majority beleive the bill will increase it rather than reduce it. Although House Republicans have passed the bill and are pushing for Senate approval by July 4,delays are giving critics time to highlight potential debt risks associated with the proposed spending. The White House has contested these debt concerns, asserting that the bill could ultimately lower the debt by $2.3 trillion through economic growth. Despite previous trust in Trump’s economic plans, the latest polling indicates a shift in voter sentiment regarding the bill’s implications for the national debt.
More fear budget bill will just add crushing debt
The drawn-out negotiations over President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act are giving fiscal hawks more time to build the case that it will just add to the nation’s oppressive $37 trillion debt, a potential threat to passage.
While the administration and GOP leaders have been making the case that the tax and spending legislation will lower the debt, an overwhelming 84% of likely voters said that they are concerned about the national debt.
And, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Washington Secrets on Wednesday, voters by a 2:1 margin believe that the bill will simply add to that debt.
The bill was passed by House Republicans and is in front of the Senate. Republican leaders hope to pass it out of the chamber by July 4, when House and Senate negotiators would meld one bill.
But the delay in pushing it through is providing time for foes to point out the potential for a debt explosion if many of the spending provisions make it through the grinder.
