Correct, it is showing that compared to the previous decade, (17.5 trillion increase) the debt will increase by 3.3 trillion (projected by the CBO). You’re correct, the 3.3 number may not be the high limit, it may be much higher, or much lower. Now, I’m extremely concerned with the ever increasing debt, but I’ll take an increase of 3.3 trillion over the previously mentioned 17.5 trillion. What thinking person wouldn’t want to slow the debt increase? I’m certainly not an economist and I’m sure there are different numbers to consider, but this old boy hurts to see our children and grandchildren-children saddled with such debt. What an unnecessary and loathsome legacy we will leave behind.
This is what I got

I don't think it is entirely fair to compare the potential debt of 1 spending bill to the total debt of multiple spending bills across multiple administrations in the last decade and automatically assume that this bill will somehow only cap our total spending for this decade at $3.3 trillion.
Humph. Government funding for education is already $900,000,000,000 per year. Which is about $20,000 per student per year. If a school cannot run on that kind of money, then more money is not going to help. I was homeschooled. My family spent about $30 per student per year, and I was about 4 years ahead of my public school counterparts. 50% less money would make little to no impact on the quality of public schooling.

A nice way to end the debate for me because there is a lack of fair play on one side. On the basis of what has been set by my fiscally responsible friends I will fail whatever I am trying to explain. They're constantly rewriting the rules book. lol
Trump did mention about tariffs in india but idk about this
Tarrifs!!!!
It was a terrible choice to not make future generations a priority . Child Care also is difficult & so expensive
out of impulsive mood?
