Murray: If you think you can look the American people in the face and tell them we have to bring down the debt after passing what might be the most expensive bill in history, if you think you can do that and then be taken seriously, you know what, if you believe that, maybe you are foolish enough to think that zero and a trillion are the same.

I can tell you right now, if this happens we will all laugh you out of the room because we have never seen anything like this, not in my time here in the senate, not in my time on this planet. We are not going to let anyone forget that you're track the rules in order to pass this egregious bill.

Rand Paul: In addition, the bill increases the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. What does that mean? That is an admission that they know they aren't controlling the deficit. They know that the ensuing years will add trillions more.

So we're adding $2 trillion this year, but they're anticipating, the authors of the bill are anticipating adding more than $2 trillion next year. That doesn't sound at all conservative to me and that's why I'm a no.

I still expect the OBBBA to pass, in one form or another. But the GOP will be cannon fodder in the midterms. So there’s always that.
