Let me tell you where you are, Jodey.
Four months after you passed the Big Ugly Bill under reconciliation rules, rules which Mike Crapo in the Senate turned on their head, you are a whisker away from another $2 trillion in debt added to the public debt since July 4th.
Jodey's just puttin' lipstick on the pig and saying, See ya!
... Arrington said he had faith Republicans in Washington would pick up
his mantle of fiscal hawkishness, or as he's often called it, "reversing
the curse" of public debt.
"The president's committed to it, he
talks about it all the time. He's actually doing something about it with
very difficult decisions, not politically popular decisions. This is
all about political will," Arrington said. "Trump's doing it. Mike
Johnson is committed to it… And we have a growing number of fiscal hawks
who are absolutely dogged on this issue."
But he said he would continue to push for further fiscal reforms for his remaining year on Capitol Hill, including another budget reconciliation bill to follow up on the big, beautiful bill.
"I
don't know where the Senate Republicans are. I don't know where the
president is and can't speak for the White House. But the House is at
the ready," Arrington said. "It's been our most consequential tool to
support the president and the strength of the country, and I don't see
any reason we wouldn't utilize it to its fullest extent."
