Marge says she's now against the big beautiful bill.

No she didn't.


6/4/25

"The far-right firebrand said she supports Musk “calling out the government” and recalled how she initially ran for Congress because she’d been “angry at Republicans” over their spending habits.

“I ran in 2020 because I was angry at Republicans, so I fully understand what Elon is saying and, you know, I agree with him to a certain extent,” she said.

But Greene also defended the spending bill — even though she was roasted by critics after admitting to not having read it — by claiming she doesn’t want the government to continue to be funded by a continuing resolution, or CR, that essentially extends funding levels set by the previous Congress during the Biden administration."

That was just a frisky protest. You soyboys would still be hiding under your bed if there was a real attack.

How i see the BBB in its current form. what the GDP would have to climb to in order to balance the budget.


Spending Cuts: $1.5 trillion over 10 years, including $880 billion from Medicaid/ACA, $230 billion from SNAP, $330 billion from education, and $500 billion unspecified. ( only 150 billion a year)

Spending Increases: $1.12–1.23 trillion over 10 years, with ~$1 trillion for defense, $50–100 billion for border security, $50 billion for veterans, $20–30 billion for law enforcement, and $50 billion for infrastructure/energy.


GDP Increase to Balance: $2.17 trillion annual GDP increase (6.66% above baseline), requiring 10.66% nominal growth (8.66% real + 2% inflation) vs. 4% baseline. ( not very likely)

unknown factors

Recission cuts - our history tells us not to expect much

Additional DOGE cuts - there is potential here. much of the DOGE process is still tied up in the courts including a detailed analysis of Social Security and medicare fraud.

Trade war revenue - its clear Trumps plan is to create additional revenue through tariffs.
