Sen. Rand Paul from Kentucky expressed concerns about the “big beautiful” bill pushed through the House by House Speaker Mike Johnson. He anticipated a tough battle in the Senate for the bill, which he believes will significantly increase the deficit. Paul criticized the bill’s spending cuts as inadequate and warned that it could lead to a massive rise in the national debt. He highlighted the potential negative impact on programs like Medicare and Medicaid due to the bill’s provisions. Paul urged conservatives to question and oppose the bill rather than blindly supporting it just because of its appearance.
