When it’s not bashing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for furthering the national debt, the PBS News Hour works hard to poison the well against any reductions in federal spending.  Thursday’s edition featured 19 minutes of coverage of the bill emphasizing trillions of dollars being added to the national debt.
