Trump's 'big beautiful bill' is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the debt, budget office says

UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – The Congressional Budget Office projects the 2025 tax law will increase the federal deficit by $3.4 trillion and cause 10 million more Americans to lose health insurance by 2034.

  • On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the CBO says will add $3.4 trillion to the debt by 2034.
  • Amid looming tax hikes, Republican leaders said the 887-page package extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts while adding deductions for tips and overtime.
  • According to the CBO, the law will increase the number of uninsured Americans by 10 million by 2034.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson said `No concerns at all. In fact, it’s going to gain seats for us,` and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer declared `This finalized independent analysis from the CBO confirms it: Republicans' signature bill is the ultimate betrayal of the American people.`
  • Under the work requirements slated for early 2027, Medicaid expansion recipients will need to prove 80 hours of work monthly to access coverage, and local and state agencies can start applying for reimbursements now.
