Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about

Republicans adding to the debt to cut spending. Yeah, that sentence doesn't make any sense, right?

It doesn't make a lot of sense to many rank and file Republicans who are starting to understand

exactly what's in Trump's one big beautiful bill either.

For many partisan Republicans, they were so concerned with defending Trump's position

trillion in cuts is the goal. The expectation is that they only get 1.5. So the budget slashing

plan adds $3 trillion to the debt. Some are starting to realize the economic pain isn't designed to cut the debt, something Republicans
