You shouldn’t support Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill. Why? It’s being sold as a win for economic growth, but it’s a fiscal disaster and a surveillance nightmare. From exploding deficits to empowering Palantir’s data grab, this bill betrays our principles of limited government and individual freedom. BUDGETARY PROBLEMS: The bill adds $2.4–$3.8 trillion to the federal deficit over 10 years, per the Congressional Budget Office. That’s on top of a national debt already at $36 trillion, with debt-to-GDP at 120%. Libertarians know unchecked borrowing crowds out private investment and burdens future generations. Trump claims the bill’s tax cuts will boost growth to offset costs. But the Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates only a 0.5% GDP increase over 10 years, nowhere near enough to cover the $3.3 trillion deficit hike. The White House touts $1.6 trillion in “savings,” but this ignores $144 billion in new military spending and $67 billion for homeland security. Net result? A massive deficit increase. Americans want real cuts, not accounting tricks that mask bloated government spending. EXPANDING THE SURVEILLANCE STATE: The bill ties into Trump’s March 2025 executive order, empowering Palantir to build a “master database” of Americans’ data—tax records, immigration files, and more. Palantir’s $113 million in recent federal contracts, plus a $30 million ICE deal, fuels AI-driven surveillance. This is a direct threat to privacy and liberty. The bill bans states from regulating AI for 10 years, centralizing power in D.C. Palantir’s Foundry platform, already in four federal agencies, uses AI to cross-reference sensitive data. Governments with unchecked data power don’t exactly scream “freedom.” Americans voted for fiscal restraint and individual liberty. This bill delivers neither. It balloons deficits, ignores real spending reform, and hands Palantir the keys to a surveillance state. We can’t let short-term tax cuts blind us to long-term tyranny. Tell your senators to reject this bill. Demand real deficit reduction—cut defense, Medicare, and Social Security, not just “woke” programs. Push back against Palantir’s data grab before it’s too late. Liberty isn’t free—it’s time to fight for it.

To see Republicans in Congress cast aside DOGE and any meaningful spending reductions is a betrayal of the voters who elected them. There are a lot of people who need to face a rude awakening in the primaries.
