Most of the House members are pleased with the big, beautiful bill. In order for Donald Trump’s plan to work, he needs tariffs, tax cuts, and the elmination of regulations. Otherwise, it won’t work.
Earlier today, reports came out about President Trump planning to meet with the Senate about the bill, perhaps with House leadership. Some won’t accept the bill as is.
Sen. Johnson has complained repeatedly about the deficit that will lead to what he claims will be a 89 trillion debt eventually. That is possibly what he is concerned about.
GOP WI Sen Ron Johnson calls the Big Beautiful Bill “completely unacceptable.” When asked if he thought that would upset the President, Johnson replied “I couldn’t care less if he’s upset. I’m concerned about my children. My grandchildren”

Lindsey Graham is unbelievable. Instead of bringing us back to pre-COVID levels, he’s objecting to a percent and a half cut in spending.
Asked Lindsey Graham about warnings from House Freedom Caucus not to water down cuts in Trump bill.
“You had your chance. There’s some of these cuts that are not real, and we’re talking about over a decade, you know, if you do $1.5 trillion, that’s like a percent and a half.” pic.twitter.com/K4Ab7Yme4p

Sen. Paul has the opposite view. He wants a more conservative bill. Not knowing what is in it, I can’t say who is right or wrong. Perhaps readers can shed some light.

Trump has been ‘spot on’ to date. The BBB (Big Beautiful Bill) makes some assumptions that are quite feasible and ‘if’ growth pans out, as expected, income should balance deficits…
How about a bill that reduces the federal debt? I have been waiting for that one of 76 years.
The bill is not well described yet. It seems to be a standard overspending bill with some cuts and other adjustments Trump has inserted.
Passing the bill is not urgent. It can be delayed a few weeks.
Senator Johnson is an honorable man. If he thinks it is too big that is OK with me. The RINOs (Mitch’s gang) tried to get rid of Johnson in 2022. They dropped funding for him but he still won.
At least half of Senate ‘Republicans’ should be primaried and 100% of Democrat in the House and Senate belong in prison.
