Guess who said this?

Read the quote first before skipping to the answer at the bottom please. Musk and Republicans in Congress are lying about the deficit numbers in their budget , and the only way to reduce the debt significantly is to increase taxes on the wealthy: "You're
going to have to raise taxes."


This was said by Steven Bannon according to Ron Filipkowski on bluesky. So....the big ugly "we're all going to die" bill is getting it from all sides. Musk, Bannon, and even the Marge Green types who now say they didn't read it.

Is it possible that this bill is actually in trouble?
