Why This Matters
💸 Congressional Budget Authority: CBO estimates $2.4 trillion in deficit spending over ten years
Constitutional spending power belongs to legislative branch, but Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" bypasses normal budget process. Deficit spending forces future generations to pay for current political promises.
🏛️ Republican Unity Collapse: Even GOP deficit hawks oppose Trump's massive spending increases
Conservative Republicans who claim fiscal responsibility oppose their own president's budget-busting legislation. Party discipline breaks down when ideology conflicts with political loyalty.
📊 Public Opposition: Quinnipiac polling shows 53% oppose the bill despite Republican marketing
Independent polling reveals majority opposition to Trump's signature legislation. Democratic accountability works when citizens evaluate policies rather than partisan messaging.
💰 Fiscal Irresponsibility: Debt service now consumes larger portion of federal budget than defense
Interest payments exceed military spending, reducing funds available for education, infrastructure, and social programs. Fiscal recklessness eliminates resources for essential government services.
