Currently, the national debt is $20 trillion, and that is expected to increase to $30 trillion by 2027, with deficits running nearly $1.5 trillion that year. This sounds bad, but the Republicans have a solution. Cut taxes and make it worse! If you’re drowning in debt, cutting your income is the obvious solution. Right?
To fund their $1.5 trillion tax cut, Republicans are writing IOUs for our grandkids to pay off. Running up a bill you have no intention of ever paying is just plain theft. Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, is proud of her vote. Seems to be the new normal for the Republican Party.
If the Republicans truly wanted to stimulate the economy, they would be supporting a rebuilding of our infrastructure, which we know would create jobs here at home, and the grandkids would have something to show for the debt they’re getting stuck with.
Please vote in 2018.
