White House Defends Big Beautiful Bill, Claims DOGE Cuts Not Codified

In response to growing claims that the Trump administration’s Big Beautiful Bill fails to implement significant cuts to Dogecoin spending, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steve Miller publicly addressed the situation. Miller argues that the bill is restricted by Senate rules and cannot codify DOGE budget slashes. He explained that discretionary spending makes up the entirety of DOGE’s budget and highlights a $1.6 trillion spending reduction in the legislation as a significant achievement in cost-cutting, despite its limitations on mandatory spending.
