CNBC Television· 2025-07-10 12:44
Fiscal Policy & Debt - The new bill is projected to add approximately $500 billion to the debt in the first five years, with $270 billion added in the next year [6] - The bill includes a $5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling, the largest in history, potentially diminishing the urgency to address the debt [7] - A proposed alternative was a three-month debt ceiling extension of about $500 billion, requiring more frequent votes on the matter [8] Tax Cuts & Economic Impact - The bill includes 100% depreciation, considered a pro-growth aspect that allows businesses to quickly expense capital expenditures like bulldozers and dump trucks [3][4] - The 100% depreciation was supported in 2017 and its continuation is viewed positively for the economy [4] Special Interests & Reform - The bill contains special tax expensing for Alaskan whale captains [8][11] - A reform on food stamps was included, but Alaska was exempted from rules to reform the system despite a 60% fraud rate [11]

You convince yourself it’s worth it because you love the country and want a better ...
