An ogre's eye view on the Congressional Budget Office's report that Trump's budget bill could add $2.4 trillion to the national debt, with Republicans and even Elon Musk raising a stink!
An ogre's eye view on the Congressional Budget Office's report that Trump's budget bill could add $2.4 trillion to the national debt, with Republicans and even Elon Musk raising a stink!

What in the Name of Duloc is Going On Here?

Alright alright settle down ya swamp critters! Shrek here reporting live from... well still my swamp. But I gotta tell ya even I'm starting to smell something rotten brewing in that ol' Washington D.C. I hear tell this fella Trump with his 'big beautiful bill,' is causing more of a stink than my morning breath after a night of onion eating. Seems this 'Congressional Budget Office' – sounds like a bunch of fancy pants bean counters if you ask me – they're saying this bill is gonna add TWO POINT FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS to the national debt over the next ten years! That's more than I've got layers and believe me that's saying something!

Less Spending More Debt? That's Some Donkey Logic!

Now the bill apparently cuts spending by a bit about $1.3 trillion but it also drops revenues by a whopping $3.7 trillion. As Donkey would say 'That doesn't make any sense!' It's like trying to fill a well with a leaky bucket. You're just gonna end up with a big ol' mess! And speaking of messes it sounds like these politicians are already squabbling like pigs in mud. They can't even agree on whether this thing smells more like onions or ogre farts.

Even Elon 'Rocket Man' Musk is Holding His Nose!

Hold your horses! Seems even that Elon Musk fella the one who thinks he can fly to the moon is calling this bill a 'disgusting abomination!' Now I don't know much about rockets but I know a bad smell when I whiff one. When even a fancy pants billionaire is wrinkling his nose you know something's gone seriously wrong in the kingdom.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do (Especially for Bills!)

Apparently some of these Republican fellas want to split the bill into two like Fiona and I trying to divide up the chores. But Trump bless his heart wants it all in 'one big beautiful bill.' Sounds like someone's got a stubborn streak bigger than my club! But hold on a minute… Isn’t there supposed to be some kinda deadline for all of this hullabaloo?

July 4th Deadline? Sounds Like a Fireworks Disaster Waiting to Happen!

Trump wants this thing signed and sealed by July 4th? That's like setting off a firework display in my swamp! It's gonna be loud messy and probably end with someone getting hurt. These senators are in a time crunch and when politicians rush they usually end up stepping in something... well you know.

Don't Believe Everything You Hear (Especially From Politicians!)

And of course Trump's buddies are already trying to badmouth the CBO saying they're always wrong. It's like saying onions don't stink! Listen I'm just an ogre but even I know you gotta take what politicians say with a grain of salt or maybe a whole onion. So keep your eyes peeled and your nose plugged folks. This whole thing smells fishier than my swamp after a rainy week!
