WASHINGTON - Today, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) held a press conference on Capitol Hill alongside fellow members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) opposing Democrats’ massive multi-trillion-dollar tax and spending reconciliation and inFAKEstructure bill.
“Biden is selling out the American taxpayer and America’s small businesses to the radical left through his immeasurable tax and spending plan. This proposal will grow the size of government through entitlement programs that will give amnesty and free healthcare and college to illegal immigrants, cripple our energy infrastructure, and drastically worsen our declining economy,” said Rep. Donalds. Under this administration, inflation skyrockets, middle and low-income families pay nearly 50% more for a gallon of gas, and store shelves grow bare as the supply chain crisis grapples our nation before the holidays.
“The Democrats only know how to squander the taxpayer’s money, and I am proud to lead my colleagues in standing up for the hardworking American people. Republicans are for tax decreases and allowing families to control their destiny with their money. At the same time, Democrats seek to tax every dollar and spend tax dollars on illegal immigrants, and Bernie Sanders inspired socialist policies. Look no further than Biden’s sinking poll numbers; we the People do not want what Biden and the Democrats are selling.”
“Despite creating crisis after crisis with his horrible policies, President Biden is doubling down on caving to the radical left. Democrats are more focused on expanding the role of government and enacting massive radical social programs instead of addressing rising inflation and the other crises hurting middle class families. The Biden Administration’s consistent efforts to dismantle President Trump’s successful border security and immigration policies, along with their reckless energy initiatives and foreign policy agenda, have resulted in absolute chaos at home and abroad.” said House Republican Whip Steve Scalise. “If President Biden and his far-left allies in Congress successfully pass their big government socialist tax-and-spend spree, inflation will continue to skyrocket, utility costs will increase, and jobs will be shipped overseas. I applaud my fellow Republican Study Committee members and Congressman Donalds for their hard-fought efforts to defeat President Biden and Speaker Pelosi’s far-left agenda.”
“After months of self-created chaos and disarray – including two desperate visits from the President – Washington Democrats have replaced their own bill with a new version that doubles down on budget gimmicks, fake offsets, and early sunsets to costly programs in order to hide the true cost of their radical tax & spending plan from the American people,” said House Budget Committee Republican Leader Jason Smith. “The reality is their bill spends $4.6 trillion, three times more than what Washington Democrats claim, and will add $3 trillion to our nation’s debt. As Washington Democrats have pursued their socialist tax & spending plan, American families have been left to fend for themselves against the highest inflation in 40 years, record-high gas prices, and the worst border crisis in living memory – all a direct result of the Biden Administration’s reckless policies.”
