Sorry. I don’t see that as a plus. Debt limit ≠ debt or maoney spent. Whe we need to raise the debt limit urgently to avoid bankruptcy we need Dems to vote to get it done. That is not a simple majority vote as this BBB is. President Trump asked for breathing room to avoid the extortion by the left to fund their agenda to get a debt limit done in regular house order later.

Totally eliminating Trump’s leverage over Congress, which is what the “big, beautiful bill” does, is a stupid idea.
The personal tax cut extensions need to be limited to one year and the corporate tax cut excluded so Trump retains some leverage.
Trump isn’t the only person who wants tax cut continuations. Tens of millions of Americans do, and every member of Congress knows it. And almost every member of Congress is a coward.
Trump is an old man. He has no political future. He can veto every tax cut bill that comes along unless Congress gives him want he wants.
What the nation truly needs is taxation limits in the Constitution.
An estate tax rate of 35% can be raised to 60%, or 90% by a future Democratic Congress.
A tax rate on income above $100,000 could be set to 70% by a future Democratic Congress.
Let’s beautify the big bill further.
