according to the nonpartisan CBO forecast, republicans' scam budget bill will now add $3.8 TRILLION to the debt over 10 years (& vastly increase economic inequality). Republicans are liars who do not care about the deficit or helping Americans

There isn’t a fiscal hawk in the Republican Party. Trump turned the GOP into the party of greedy cowards. Every single one of them is voting unanimously to explode the deficit by $4 trillion. There are none brave enough to speak truth to power and say this is a fiscally irresponsible bill.

Only Democratic deficits spent on trying to raise up the working poor we’re told are bad.

GOP deficits fueled by tax cuts for the wealthy we’re told are good.

Guess who’s doing the telling?

That’s odd, do you think he lied? If so that would be concerning. Could there be some honest explanation?

ellebee1000.bsky.social•7 days ago

Credentials. lol. Fiscal hawked his way through massive deficit blowout in his last term, and how many bankruptcies before that …

aekarn.bsky.social•7 days ago

How does a man who ran multiple businesses into bankruptcy and lives on grift & credit have any fiscal hawk credentials? Do better Axios.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is more big, ugly US debt. He's no fiscal hawk and never was one. To him, it's all about looking good to the public while he helps himself and his rich friends enrich themselves even further. And corruption...let it fly!

He/his sons/close stooges will exit his chaos clown show orders of magnitude richer then he/they started with. Everyone else will take it on the chin. That was the mission going in.

The man didn’t know what groceries were, he can’t define “fiscal hawk.”

Thinks it’s a bird.

Obviously not even close to the truth. And you think if he really was, he’d be setting an example. But yet his frequent golf trips, the Qatari plane that will cost nearly a billion dollars to retrofit etc all add to costs and the deficit. of our country.

Not sure why anyone is going to associate the casino bankrupter guy with "fiscal responsibility". That's a special kind of stupid.

Trump has always been a "fiscal narcissist", everything is for me, me, me!

lily2748.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump is transactionally dillusional, so he can spout both ideas at the same time. Reality is a rare & fleeting state for the old orange guy.

mayvene.bsky.social•7 days ago

mblehrhoff.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump a narcissistic, inveterate liar about everything??? Sounds ripe for investigation by crack journalist, Jake Tapper.🙄

Congressional Budget Office confirmed the updated impact of the "big beautiful" bill yesterday - so Trump knows exactly what he is planning to do to the national debt, again

By 2029: 2.20 trillion increase to the deficit

By 2034: 3.77 trillion increase to the deficit

Why has there been a moratorium on using LIE with this guy? Not in his first term, and now with his worst term. The man is a compulsive liar! Please, someone (anyone) use any variation of the actual word.

bselena.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump is predatory-the big bad wolf- vote for your constituents!! Don’t let Trump persuade you to vote for HIS interests and not theirs…..
