How important this process is, to getting confirmation, as we saw what happened in 1986. More importantly, i think he took head on a lot of the critics and criticism of decisions that hes made and votes hes cast. And i thought in particular, with cory booker becoming historic, you saw the first sho for the 2020 democratic nomination for president. Lets just put that on the table. Certainly, thats part of the drama and theater of what he chose to do. But i also found it somewhat ironic that just in january of 2016, in legislation that he cosponsored with mr. Sessions, that celebrated those who walked from walked the selma mile, if you will, that he referred to him as it was a great honor to work with him and that he appreciated his commitment to civil rights. And yet now sees him as he referred to him as a danger
with danger to our country, as hes been quoted to say. The politics is not lost here. I think everyone in this town understands that. And to have this staged the way it was wit
which was kind of sprung on the republicans, i mean, the ink was barely dry on the vote for the chips plus bill, which is $284 billion in spending. now they come up with this bill, which is $739 billion tax hike, right, with $583 billion of spending. so wait a minute, let me get this right. sit back for a minute. in the space of 48 hours, you have these two, huge bills, okay? chips which is an industrial corporate welfare bill, and then reconciliation, all right? so the sum total is $870 billion in new spending. $870 billion in new spending. which is guaranteed to raise inflation. and you have $740 billion and higher taxes.
china and the u.s. is worth bilaterally around $583 billion. of that about $120 billion worth of u.s. goods goes to china. so, we are talking about u.s. soybeans, cotton, airplanes, airplane parts, car parts, you name it, there s a lot of stuff going from the states to china. there s more coming back the other way. but even sew, there is potential for an enormous amount of damage to have been inflicted on u.s. producers as well. so, one comment today was that this wasn t even in the realm of plausibility, this sort of idea. but it s interesting, here i am in xaimen, as you say, and we ve listened to president xi jinping, the chinese leader once again speaking publicly. this is the second time president xi has spoken publicly in two days at the brics summit.
defaulting i m grateful for that answer. thank you. the nonpartisan tax policy center found the president-elect trump s tax plan would increase the debt by $7.2 trillion over ten years. the president-elect has proposed increasing defense spending anded and ed said he will not touch entitlements like medicare or social security. he s own suggested reducing spending on nondefense discretionary spending. in 2015, nondefense discretionary spending comprised about 17% of the budget, $583 billion. this includes funding for veterans benefits, transportation, national parks and investments in research. even if we didn t spend a single penny on any of these priorities for an entire year, which i would not suggest, but even if we didn t, that would only pay for about 8% of mr. trump s tax plan. is the tax plan that increases the debt by $7.2 trillion an acceptable outcome to you? i believe the $7.2 trillion
