In an interview on NBC's Meet the Press, House Speaker Mike Johnson defended President Donald Trump's ambitious budget proposal, insisting it would not increase the national debt contrary to projections from credible analysts. During a tense exchange with moderator Kristen Welker, he stated the plan is intended to stimulate economic growth and fulfill Trump’s 'America First' agenda. This legislation includes extending tax cuts and establishing new business incentives. Despite estimates that the proposal could add trillions to the deficit, Johnson dismissed these as based on faulty static scoring methods that fail to account for anticipated economic benefits.
