White House’s Steve Miller defends Trump’s big beautiful bill, says DOGE cuts were never on the table

Steve Miller clarified that DOGE cuts were not part of the bill due to Senate rules that limit discretionary spending cuts. He emphasized that the proposed legislation focuses on over 1.6 trillion USD in mandatory cuts and major welfare reforms.

Miller argued against claims that the bill would raise the deficit, stating that keeping 2017 tax rates unchanged wouldn’t add to it. Additionally, a temporary Supreme Court stay was granted concerning transparency documents demanded about DOGE.
