Andre Carson: We’ll Be Pushing Trump To Not Implement ‘European Style Austerity Measures’

‘Democrats like myself and others will be pushing President Trump to not fall into the rhetoric of imposing some European-style austerity measure that my Republican colleagues are pushing’

EXCERPT:

CARSON: “President Trump is proposing to increase our military spending, cut taxes for the wealthy, cut the budget for the EPA. We’re seeing crazy climate shifts right now and weather shifts in the Midwest and on the East Coast, that concerns me. If -- if he’s talking about maintaining Social Security, that’s good, but it’s not great, because those folks who receive Social Security have yet to receive a cost of living adjustment. And so, Democrats like myself and others will be pushing President Trump to not fall into the rhetoric of imposing some European-style austerity measure that my Republican colleagues are pushing, but to make sure we’re -- we're having the right investments in infrastructure, we're making sure that we’re putting Americans back to work, we're investing in our educational system. And I think he should have a greater vision about some of these trade proposals and trade deals."
