Fiscal Concerns on Debt Ceiling
- The "Big, not yet beautiful bill" contains some tax cuts I support but fails to adequately address the $2 trillion annual deficit.
- Raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion rewards reckless spending and is not fiscally responsible.

- The bill includes $400 billion in new spending despite Doge spending cuts that are about $200 billion.
