Congressional Budget Office figures shouldn’t be trusted, White House says
- The Congressional spending bill, known as President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, came before the Senate in 2025 with debates about its fiscal impact.
- Concerns arose because the Congressional Budget Office projected the bill would increase the federal deficit by about $4 trillion, though the White House disputes these figures.
- Fiscal conservatives such as Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee condemned the bill as massive, wasteful, and called for amendments to reduce deficit growth.
- Elon Musk, a former special government employee and Trump ally, criticized the bill on social media, calling it a "disgusting abomination" and expressing frustration with its excess spending.
- The White House maintained that the CBO has shown political bias, declaring that claims the bill increases the deficit are "blatantly wrong" and reinforced support for the president’s budget.
