The debate surrounding the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” has entered a new phase of intensity, marked by a flurry of criticisms and social media outbursts, particularly from Elon Musk, who recently took to X to lash out at President Trump. Musk’s posts, filled more with personal jabs than policy critiques, were quickly amplified by libertarian-leaning figures such as Senator Rand Paul, Representative Thomas Massie, and even Congressman Andy Biggs. But while the outrage continues to dominate headlines, the truth is this: there really is no rational debate. Senate Republicans should not only pass this bill-they should champion it.

The fundamental reason for Republican support goes beyond loyalty or ideology. It is rooted in political survival. The Big, Beautiful Bill contains a provision to make President Trump’s tax cuts permanent, an achievement that alone should be more than enough to galvanize GOP senators.
