Last week, House Republicans delivered a big win for the American people by passing The One Big Beautiful Bill — a transformative piece of legislation that now heads to the Senate. As the Left scrambles to distort the facts, let me set the record straight.
❌ False Claim #1: The Bill Should Include President Trump’s DOGE Cuts
Wrong. Here’s why:
The One Big Beautiful Bill is a budget reconciliation bill, which means it’s limited to “mandatory spending” under Senate rules.
It cannot include “discretionary spending” cuts, such as those proposed in President Trump’s DOGE initiative (which targets bloated bureaucracies like the Department of Education and HHS).
President Trump’s DOGE cuts are critically important, and I support them fully — but they must be enacted through separate channels: a rescissions package and the annual appropriations process. Which I will be pushing.
Let’s be clear: We are going after waste, fraud, and abuse. But we’re doing it by the book — and with a plan to win.
❌ False Claim #2: The Bill Increases the Deficit
This is more fear-mongering from the same so-called “experts” who missed the mark on Obamacare, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Trump tax cuts.
The 2017 tax cuts are set to expire — and if Congress fails to act, Americans will face the largest tax hike in history.
Our bill makes those tax cuts permanent, giving certainty to families and small businesses.
The bill also includes historic spending cuts, driving down the deficit against the baseline that reflects current expectations — not fantasy projections.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) assumes just 1.8% economic growth. In reality, under President Trump’s policies, the economy grew at 3%.
Even with conservative estimates, our budget projects 2.6% growth — enough to reduce the deficit substantially.
Let me say it plainly: this bill cuts spending, preserves tax relief, and gets Washington out of the way.
❌ False Claim #3: The Bill Spends Trillions
Don’t fall for this misinformation.
The One Big Beautiful Bill saves over $1.6 trillion — the largest savings ever achieved through reconciliation.
It is not an annual funding bill. Government operations are handled through the appropriations process.
The only new spending in the bill? Border security and national defense — exactly where your tax dollars should go.
Critics are using fuzzy math, counting all unrelated projected federal spending to claim this bill “spends trillions.” That’s absurd.
As Stephen Miller rightly put it: if a bill cut $50 billion from one program, they’d still claim it “added” trillions — because they lump in unrelated spending. It’s dishonest and desperate.
