Dave Brat: Jim Jordan’s Right, Bipartisan Budget Deal Is Bad 100 Times ‘on Steroids’

EXCERPT:

BRAT: "Yeah, on steroids. I agree with Jim. I just heard the hype — I don’t want to rain on the parade either, but bipartisan budget deal, right — so the House sent over a bill that basically is consistent with a trillion dollar deficit every year, right, because the Democrats demand that. Then you send it over to the Senate and what happens when you get the deal? They add another third of a trillion dollars, right? And the mainstream media is reporting, 'Hey, no big deal, it’s a two-year budget deal.' It’s $1.3 trillion a year for the foreseeable future every year out, we're already at $21 trillion in debt. We add $1.3 trillion in debt after we do our tax plan and everybody gets excited about a deficit. We only need to come up with $50 billion a year to pay for our taxes. This thing adds $300 billion right off the bat. And any third grader can tell you — I taught economics for 20 years — if you add $21 trillion in debt, you’re supposed to be going down, not adding to it massively."
