Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget got on his X account on Wednesday to verbally smack a little sense into the radical left who have been spreading all kinds of wild rumors about the Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” legislation.
Combating the false narrative webs spun by the eight-legged freaks that exist within the mainstream media is more than a full time job. It’s a calling. We need people like Vought to push the truth on every platform possible if we want to torch these bugs and save the country.
Vought has been going toe-to-toe with the lies being told on the news since Sunday, when he made an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, hosted by anchor Dana Bash. He’s been sticking it to leftist hacks using the hammer of truth to drive home little things we call facts.
In his post on X, Vought went on to say that the OMB took a gander at the new CBO score for the bill and it reveals the legislation reduces the deficit by $1.4 trillion over ten years. You just have to adjust for the CBO not using what he referred to as a “realistic currency baseline.”
“It includes $1.7 trillion in mandatory savings, the most in history. If you care about deficits and debt, this bill dramatically improves the fiscal picture,” the director of OMB continued.
During Vought’s interview with Bash last Sunday, he said with no hesitation, “This bill doesn’t increase the deficit or hurt the debt.”
Look, this guy’s the expert. If he says this thing isn’t going to hurt our country, it’s probably true. Does that mean the bill is perfect? Of course not. There’s probably things that could be better contained within its pages. However, it’s not the disaster left-wing media wants you to believe it is.
His comments on the program were aimed at SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who ripped the legislation to shreds on social media. Musk himself recently sat down for an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” where he stated he was “… disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit … and it undermines the work that the [Department of Government Efficiency] team is doing.”

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was passed in the House late last month after a series of negotiations and changes to the legislation’s text that played a huge roll in securing GOP support for it.
“This is a $1.4 trillion, over 10 years, deficit reduction. It’s $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings,” Vought told Bash during their interview on Sunday. “Obviously, we have a little bit of spending in there as well for border and defense, but that is the biggest mandatory savings package cut that we have seen since the 1970s — 1997.”
Musk also stated during his interview with CBS that he was convinced a “bill can be big, or it could be beautiful,” however, he wasn’t sure “if it could be both.” He then noted that this was simply his “personal opinion,” according to The Hill.
Elon Musk is allowed to disagree with the bill and with policy positions Trump takes on issues. If we don’t allow room for differing opinions within the conservative movement, how are we better than the left? Keep that in mind before tearing him a new one on X.
