Porky Pig Party? The ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
Looney Tunes Announcing Porky Pig (Wikipedia)
The Congress of the United States passed the legislation known as the Big, Beautiful Bill. Donald Trump is planning on signing it into law later today:
Trump to sign “big, beautiful bill” in July Fourth ceremony at White House
July 4, 2025
President Trump is bringing pomp and circumstance to his signing of the “big, beautiful bill” on Friday, with a 4 p.m. Independence Day ceremony at the White House.
Some Republican members of Congress who voted to pass the legislation are expected to attend, as the president puts his signature on his sweeping domestic policy bill. The final bill hasn’t appeased all Republicans, but the president and Congress managed to pass it ahead of their self-imposed July 4 deadline.
The president watched coverage of the bill’s passage from the White House on Thursday. Mr. Trump took a victory lap during a speech in Iowa Thursday night, calling the first five months of his second term “a declaration of independence from a, really, national decline.” …
What’s in the “big, beautiful bill”?
- The current $2,000 child tax credit, which would return to a pre-2017 level of $1,000 in 2026, will permanently increase to $2,200.
- The legislation includes tougher restrictions on Medicaid, which provides government-sponsored health care for low-income and disabled Americans. The bill imposes work requirements for some able-bodied adults and more frequent eligibility checks. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill will result in 11.8 million Americans losing health coverage under Medicaid over the next decade.
- The bill would allow many tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 of their tips and overtime from their taxes. That provision expires in 2028.
- The bill would make changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, expanding work requirements and requiring state governments with higher payment error rates to cover some of the program’s costs.
- The legislation also includes more than $46.5 billion for border wall construction and related expenses, $45 billion to expand detention capacity for immigrants in custody and about $30 billion in funding for hiring, training and other resources for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- The package also includes an increase to the cap on the state and local tax deduction, raising it from $10,000 to $40,000. After five years, it would return to $10,000.
- The bill would largely terminate numerous tax incentives from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act for clean energy, electric vehicles and energy efficiency programs that benefited consumers.
- The legislation would raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, going beyond the $4 trillion outlined in the initial House-passed bill. Congress faces a deadline to address the debt limit later this summer. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-to-sign-one-big-beautiful-bill-ceremony-today-watch-live-2025-07-04/
Former Donald Trump supporter, Elon Musk, vigorously has spoken out against the bill:
Musk Declares War On Trump’s ‘Porky Pig Party’
July 2, 2025
With a direct challenge to President Donald Trump‘s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ the tech titan Elon Musk has not only launched a blistering critique but also threatened to establish a new ‘America Party,’ intensifying a highly public and increasingly acrimonious feud. …
Musk had voiced strong opposition to Trump’s proposed bill for weeks, … with Musk stating, ‘It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.’ https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/musk-declares-war-on-trumps-porky-pig-party-threatens-to-form-new-america-party-amid-big-beautiful-bill-feud/ar-AA1HLCQ8
Yes, the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ is expected to increase the debt. While the term ‘PORKY PIG PARTY’ was Elon Musk’s term, Porky Pig was put out from Looney Tunes. And, yes, the USA continuing to increase its debt could be considered to be looney.
Vocabulary.com has the following:
Definitions of looney. noun. someone deranged and possibly dangerous.
The debt of the USA is more than possibly dangerous–it is very dangerous.
Before going further, let me state that I also believe that actions by a Kamala Harris Administration also would have increased official USA debt by at least as much.
As far as the Trump Administration goes, a few days BEFORE Donald Trump took office this year, I put out a book which is available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print
Here is some of what it has in it related to debt:
As president again, Donald Trump will have to deal with the fact that the USA is the most indebted nation in the history of humanity and that such debt is expected to increase.
Debt is a prophesied problem (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8).
The time will come when the government of the USA will no longer be able to borrow at low enough interest rates and/or it will create more money to continue. (p. 23)
Debt
The USA has greatly increased its debts this century.
The Bible warns that debt, and having to borrow from foreigners, is a curse that would hit those who received various biblical blessings as they became more disobedient (Deuteronomy 28:15,43-46).
Donald Trump loves debt. Here is something he said about it in 2016:
I’m the king of debt. I love debt.[i]
Debt is dangerous.
Consider also that Donald Trump said because interest rates were once “so low”:
[T]his is the time to borrow, and to borrow long term, so that we can have money to rebuild our infrastructure.[ii]
Donald Trump also said:
I have borrowed, knowing that you can pay back with discounts. And I have done very well with debt. Now, of course, I was swashbuckling, and it did well for me and it was good for me and all that. …
Now we’re in a different situation with a country, but I would borrow knowing that if the economy crashed you could make a deal. And if the economy was good it was good so therefore you can’t lose. …
I don’t want to renegotiate the bonds, but I think you can do discounting. … I’m not even suggesting that we don’t borrow money at very low rates long term so we don’t have to worry about when they come due.[iii]
Nobody knows debt better than me. I’ve made a fortune by using debt and if things don’t work out, I renegotiate the debt. Well, you go back and you say, ‘hey, guess what? The economy just crashed. I’m going to give you back half.[iv]
It sounds like Donald Trump believes that debt is good and there is nothing wrong with defaulting or otherwise not intending to pay the total debt back.
The Bible says the wicked have that attitude:
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives. (Psalms 37:21)
Donald Trump has also filed for bankruptcy four times[v]—presumably to not pay back debt, while he claims a financial worth around $10 billion.
He may consider that to be ‘good business,’ but his practices and intents sound biblically immoral.
Official USA debt increased by over $7.8 trillion in his first Administration. Donald Trump is hoping that tariffs and his proposed External Revenue Service will greatly assist with USA debt. However, such an agency will have problems. Official USA debt will rise in Donald Trump’s second term in office.
Donald Trump has voiced concerns about interest rates rising in the USA:
If interest rates go up one percent, that’s devastating. What happens if that interest rate goes up 2, 3, 4 points? We don’t have a country.[vi]
The rates Donald Trump was concerned about were not outrageously high. Interest rates have risen since he made that statement, though they are not near historical highs.
Yet, interest on the official US government debt is now the second highest expenditure in the US (Social Security is first).[vii]
The USA is walking a dangerous line on its debt that will not end well.
Let us also consider that there is a prophecy in Habakkuk, written about 2600 years ago, about debt which is preceded by the following:
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. (Habakkuk 2:2)
The Bible says that the ‘debt prophecy’ in Habakkuk 2 is so significant that those who read it should run—essentially that they should take steps because the results will be horrific. Donald Trump and many other American politicians have not run away from increasing USA debt—that will be to the nation’s peril.
The Bible warns about something that will happen to a heavily indebted nation. Notice what the Hebrew seer Habakkuk wrote over 2,600 years ago:
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry … 5 Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a proud man … 6 “Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases What is not his—how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’? 7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you…” (Habakkuk 2:3, 5, 6–8).
Notice that what is to happen is so bad, that people who read the prophecy should run when it is time for it to be fulfilled. Since that prophecy is to be fulfilled at the appointed time of the end, it is still for the future, but perhaps not too far distant in the future. No nation has ever been in as much total debt as the USA
The “U.S. is highly vulnerable to loss of confidence by foreign creditors.”[viii] U.S. government debt is “extremely vulnerable to foreign attack because of the high percentage of foreign ownership.”[ix]
Interestingly, in the past, one foreign creditor, China, has raised concerns about the U.S. debt that are so serious, that its potential dumping of that debt has been called China’s “nuclear option”[x] against the USA—an option that involves no military intervention, but that could greatly harm the USA.
European leaders have been working for years to establish a new reserve currency for the world, partially with the intent to remove the USA dollar from its current position as a reserve currency.
Those in Russia, Iran and some of the Arab lands, along with nations such as Brazil and India have discussed plans for the removal of the dominance of the USA dollar in global trade as well. Many are now working on that, along with China, in what is called the BRICS alliance.[xi] While Donald Trump did not cause all of this, an unintended consequence of the use of sanctions in the Trump-Pence Administration (as well as by the Biden-Harris Administration) is that more nations are looking to bypass the dollar.
The Bible clearly warns against cheapening the money supply and encourages having money hold its value (Proverbs 25:4 Isaiah 1:25, Ezekiel 22:18-22). But policies under the past several presidential administrations have ignored these warnings.
No nation in the history of humankind has ever accumulated as much debt as the United States of America (because the UK has almost double the amount of per capita debt than the USA,[xii] its fate would be similar). Destruction is coming.
Yet, the relationship between debt accumulation and prophesied destruction remains unapparent to many.
Although as 45th president Donald Trump inherited a debt-laden nation, debt increased during his first term. And will do so again according to economists.[xiii]
These increases of debt, combined with a time of rising interest rates, are likely to continue past the point of no return and become one of the final factors that will cause creditors to rise up and destroy the USA.
Donald Trump, himself, does not seem to care about the biblical warnings related to debt.
Now if interest rates rise to levels seen in the early 1980s, even decent growth in the economy and governmental spending cuts will not be enough to keep the total debt from getting out of control. (pp. 35-40)

Debt will end in disaster for the USA.
Let me also add that the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ at least as what was in the H.R. 1 version of it earlier this week, also has provisions to reduce privacy rights in the USA (see USA does not live up to its Declaration of Independence–‘Trump’s megabill expands biometric surveillance’).
That said, understand that the Bible clearly warns that an indebted people will be destroyed by people whose language that they do not understand, and that the destruction will be fairly total:
43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed…47 “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. 51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you. 52 They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the LORD your God has given you (Deuteronomy 28:43-45,47-52).
7 The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7)
13 And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts…16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.” (Jeremiah 9:13,14a,16)
12 One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. (Ezekiel 5:12)
Most will not believe, but that was expected:
6 “Don’t say such things,” the people respond. “Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!” (Micah 2:6, New Living Translation)
16 … You say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel, And do not spout against the house of Isaac.’ (Amos 7:16)

Furthermore, the Bible is clear that the USA will be taken over (cf. Daniel 11:39) and debt will be a factor per Habakkuk 2:6-8.
Yet, the USA government continues to take steps which increase its official debt.
