The Hill reports:
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought on Sunday pushed back against the idea that a sizable package of Republican priorities that recently made it through the House is going to raise the deficit.
“This bill doesn’t increase the deficit or hurt the debt,” Vought told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” responding to earlier comments from tech billionaire Elon Musk.
“This is a $1.4 trillion, over 10 years deficit reduction. It’s $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings,” Vought said Sunday. “Obviously, we have a little bit of spending in there as well for border and defense, but that is the biggest mandatory savings package that we have seen since the 1970s — 1997.”

BASH: Is it fair to say that what you are doing now is in part enacting Project 2025?

Vought gets a little salty after Dana Bash plays the clip of him saying that he wants federal bureaucrats to be “in trauma,” telling her “you cherrypicked the quote” (she literally just played the clip)
