The platform said: “Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.”
What was done: Passed a law the Congressional Budget Office scores as adding $3.4 trillion to deficits over ten years.
Public Law 119-21 (the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”) was signed July 4, 2025. CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimate it raises deficits by $3.4 trillion over 2025–2034 before interest, and by $4.1 trillion once added debt-service costs are counted. It cuts about $1.4 trillion in spending, mostly Medicaid, SNAP and student loans, while reducing revenue by about $4.5 trillion.
