Senate Majority Leader John Thune bashed the new report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget for not taking into account imaginary Republican pro-growth policies along with austerity, and fiscal responsibility which will he claims will reduce the federal budget, not increase it. As if this is a thing that has ever happened. How stupid do they think we are?
The CRFB reports that the Big Beastly Bill will increase federal debt by $15 trillion as written, or $31 trillion if made permanent. FIFTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS!
When Thune was questioned, he used hopes and dreams as his rationale to debunk the CRFB as not being complete. Ask the UK how austerity worked for them during the global financial collapse of 2008.
MACCALLUM: Well Rand Paul says you won’t vote for it unless it has a debt ceiling requirement in it.
Then today you have the committee for a responsible budget coming out and saying that you know in its current form as written it will add 15 trillion dollars to the debt.
We’re already at 37 trillion.
What do you say to people who look at that and say I thought we were going in the other direction?
You know what happened to a more responsible budget?
