WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun released the following statement following the Congressional Budget Office’s analysis that the bipartisan infrastructure bill moving through the Senate would add $256 billion to our deficit, echoing Senator Braun’s July 29 tweet thread detailing the shortcomings of the package’s “pay-fors,†where he found that the package was “several hundred billion dollars short†of being paid for.
“First independent analysis from Penn-Wharton found the bipartisan infrastructure bill would put us $350 billion in the hole, and now the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has found it would produce a $256 billion deficit. Even setting aside these estimates it is clear the pay-fors in this package are either phony or insufficient, and this bill is full of K street carve-outs, kickbacks, and pork. Republicans must not support the Swamp’s bloated debt bomb parading as an infrastructure deal.â€
So Braunschweiger votes for the 2017 TCJA tax cut of which 83% went to the rich and famous adding $2 trillion to the national debt, but the LONG overdue infrastructure bill the country desperately needs for future economic success is DOA in Braun’s skull because of a $256 billion dollar shortfall.
Makes perfect MAGA sense in Southern Indiana.
I first heard the phrase, “Brain over Braun” when I was a kid.
I finally know exactly what that means….
