Breakup

The “Big Beautiful Bill” has started a public feud between President Trump and former First Buddy Elon Musk.

On Wednesday, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the 1,100-page tax-and-spending bill would add $2.4T to the deficit over the next decade by:

• Reducing revenue by $3.7T (making 2017 tax cuts permanent and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime)
• Cutting $1.3T in spending (mostly to Medicaid and clean energy)

Musk said the bill would bankrupt America, urging everyone to call their representatives and demand that they “kill the bill.” 

President Trump took notice, saying he was “very disappointed in Musk” and threatening to cut his companies’ government subsidies and contracts; Tesla stock fell 14%. Then Musk hit back, alleging that all the files related to sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein haven’t been released because they mention Trump. 

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
Our hope is never contingent on a political or economic outcome; it’s much more secure than that. Regardless of what happens in D.C., everything eventually ends well for followers of Christ.

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”
