Sen. Chuck Grassley has been in Washington since 1975. During that time the national debt soared from a mere $0.5 trillion to a staggering $37 trillion. His vote for the "One Big Beautiful Bill” adds another $3.3 trillion to our national debt. He thereby earns the notorious honor of being “The Forty Trillion Dollar Man.”
