Debunking Deficit Increase Claims

• ❌ Leavitt directly addresses and refutes the 'false claims' circulating in the press that the bill will increase the deficit.
• 📉 These claims are attributed to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and other scorekeepers, whose assumptions are described as 'shoddy' and historically inaccurate in forecasting economic growth.

Economic Growth Projections

• 📈 The CBO's projection of 1.8% long-term GDP growth is called 'absurd', with an expectation that the bill will instead cause the American economy to boom.
• 📊 The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) estimates that growth will average 3% in the long run due to the bill, fueled by tax cuts, deregulation, and domestic energy exploration.
• 💰 This projected higher growth is estimated to result in $4.1 trillion in additional revenue over 10 years, offsetting any deficit concerns.

Economic Impact and Prosperity

• 💼 The bill is expected to unleash prosperity and ignite a 'blue-collar boom' by boosting small businesses, private investment, and workers' wages.
• 🚫 Leavitt contrasts this positive outlook with the potential negative consequences if 'radical Democrats' get their way.
