Scalise: Dems Walked Away from the Table Because They Didn’t Want People to Get More of Their Hard-Earned Money

EXCERPT:

SCALISE: "Well, you know, we’re not that far apart if you look at the negotiations that had been going on before tax reform. When we moved to cut taxes, the Democrats just walked away from the table because they didn’t want people to get more of their hard-earned money. Look at how great it's working. You can go to my website and see a list of dozens and dozens of companies that are giving bonuses to workers, raising their pay of their workers. But the next thing we have to do is properly fund defense. And whether you’re in the Freedom Caucus or the Tuesday Group within our conference, I think we all acknowledge that we’ve got to get back to properly funding our defense in a way that we can meet all of these growing threats working with President Trump who as a great commander-in-chief, as you talked about earlier, supporting the unrest in Iran, people who are rising up against their corrupt government, moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem. I think we will have to make sure we continue to do what we can to give our men and women in uniform the support they need."
