Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The Budget Plan just passed by the United States Senate has my Complete and Total Endorsement and Support. All of the elements we need to secure the Border, enact Historic Spending Cuts, and make Tax Cuts PERMANENT, and much more, are strongly covered and represented in the Bill. Thank you to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and House Speaker Mike Johnson for their hard work and attention to detail. There is no better time than now to get this Deal DONE! The House, the Senate, and our Great Administration, are going to work tirelessly on creating “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,” an appropriate name if Congress so likes. Everyone is going to be happy with the result. Passage will make, even the subject of World Trade, far easier and better for the U.S.A. THE HOUSE MUST PASS THIS BUDGET RESOLUTION, AND QUICKLY — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The "One Big Beautiful" Bill. OK, Congress. Name it the:
"Optimistic, National Energy; Bold, Inspiring Growth; Brave, Exceptional America United, Thriving In Freedom Under Leadership" Bill.
(thanks to Grok for coming up with that! Grok is amazing.)

Does it defund the Department of Education and unconstitutional agencies?

No doubt there will be excellent parts of thus bill, but will the federal debt ever be paid off?

All Musk, Trump, amd JD have to do is:

1.) Get rid of all corporate welfare (John Stossel reported on how huge it was years and years ago, so it’s well over 400 billion a year now).


2.) End the $200 billion a year or so going to “migrants” brought into the US.


3.) Lower military spending by 200-300 billion a year by making Europe defend themselves and not have the US do this, because the US has defended them while they shifted the money saved to their social welfare programs.


4.) Make Japan, Singapore, Australia, NZ, Taiwan, and other Asian-Pacific allies shift more of their spending to military to help the US, saving the US at least amother 100 billion plus.

1 trillion saved right there.


Up to a trillion can be cut by a massive reduction in spending through all of the various government agencies. DOGE projected up to 2 trillion could be saved.


With all of the aforementioned, no reason for Trump to add on another 5 trillion to the federal debt in 10 years.v

Plenty left to fund Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, military.

Much of the details will be worked out in the reconciliation committee. This is where the Obama administration was able to pass the despicable Obamacare act, and where President Trump would have repealed Obamacare if not for the traitorous actions of John McCain.

The precise details of the present bills in the House and Senate are all up for negotiation and change during reconciliation.

Here is a good explanation of the reconciliation process:

This is a HUGE deal. It makes the Trump changes permanent.

I wonder if this bill gives Trump some discretion on spending. That would help Trump override any liberal judge’s order.

Nice link and all, decent info there, but at the end of the day, they aren’t even proposing, much less planning to:

1.) Get rid of all corporate welfare (John Stossel reported on how huge it was years and years ago, so it’s well over 400 billion a year now).


2.) End the $200 billion a year or so going to “migrants” brought into the US.


3.) Lower military spending by 200-300 billion a year by making Europe defend themselves and not have the US do this, because the US has defended them while they shifted the money saved to their social welfare programs.


4.) Make Japan, Singapore, Australia, NZ, Taiwan, and other Asian-Pacific allies shift more of their spending to military to help the US, saving the US at least amother 100 billion plus.

Good points. I believe President Trump understands your points. Exactly how to achieve them is uncertain.

If President Trump makes a good start, we should make gains in the House and Senate in the mid-term election. Then we can make even more gains.

In the end, all the administration has to say is:

Biden spent x trillions, we’re spending x trillions less by ending all corporate welfare, by significantly reducing military spending, ending all handouts to “migrants” and so on, so we will add far less the federal debt over 10 years than even Democrats estimate.

And then say if Dems block it, a shutdown is on Schumer.

Does it have the “no tax on tips, overtime, and social security” in it?
