Booker on Musk Slamming Trump’s Tax Bill as an Abomination: I Agree That He’s Going to ‘Endanger’ Our Economy

‘They are hypocrites, and they are more in allegiance to the president than sound, fiscal policy’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BOOKER: "Well, I agree that he’s going to saddle this country with trillions of dollars of debt, endanger our entire economy. We’ve seen moody’s downgrade our economy, therefore making it more likely that interest rates go up and more and more Americans are paying more. This is a bill that adds to our deficit in a colossal way, and for any fiscal hawk or someone who is fiscally prudent to be behind it shows – that they are hypocrites and they are more in allegiance to the president than sound, fiscal policy, but here’s what makes this bill even worse. Americans will pay so much more in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. The average health care premiums for Americans will go up to $900 a year. The average energy cost for Americans will go up to $250 a year. We will see 16 million Americans lose their health insurance and millions of children lose their food support. This is a morally wrong bill, and it’s definitely, definitely an economically wrong bill, as well."
