Rand Paul criticizes the $5 trillion debt ceiling hike in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, warning it contradicts conservative values and risks fiscal irresponsibility.

GOP Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that "the math doesn't really add up" on the cost of President Trump's "one big beautiful bill," outlining his opposition as the legislation moves to the Senate this week.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) doubled down on his objections to President Trump’s House-passed “big, beautiful bill” in Tuesday comments. Paul said he strongly opposes raising the debt ceiling, which would be hiked by $4 trillion under the current legislation.
