"Hard-working Montanans deserve more than a bill drafted in the dark of night, that saddles our kids and grandkids with more crushing debt. Sadly, Washington dysfunction has hit a new low and Montana families and small businesses deserve better than this." The Congressional Budget Office reported today that this bill will add nearly $1.5 trillion to the deficit. The bill was brought to the floor for amendment votes less than two hours after being released to the public and included hand-scribbled text in the margins. Tester blasted the process in a social media video that subsequently went viral. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
