White House says the 'big beautiful bill' will lower the US deficit. Analysts say that's off by trillions.

(Yahoo Finance) The White House made the case Monday that passing President Trump’s "big beautiful bill" would be the fiscally responsible move as objections from some Republican fiscal hawks experiencing sticker shock continued to jeopardize progress.

“This bill does not add to the deficit ... this bill will save $1.6 trillion,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday.

Another White House report on Monday from the Council of Economic Advisers painted a similarly rosy picture even as a variety of outside analyses foresee a new flood of government debt if lawmakers move forward.

The latest example came Monday afternoon when the Penn Wharton Budget Model offered a projection that took into account the bill's "positive economic dynamics" but nevertheless found an increase in primary deficits of almost $3.3 trillion over 10 years.

5. Eloon Muskovite's tax cuts won't pay for themselves.

He paid good money for this president & this administration, & he expects a good ROI.

House Republican budget could add $52T to federal deficit, CBO says

The budget framework House Republicans narrowly passed Thursday could add $52 trillion to the national debt over the next 30 years, the Congressional Budget Office said.

Of course the White House knows they are lying. If they believed it would reduce the deficit, then why do they have to include a significant increase in the debt ceiling ($4 Trillion) as part of it?

We need to get a unified voice on this and get it out there.
