Speaking on NBC s Meet the Press, Buttigieg told host Chuck Todd Across 15 years, it would raise all of the revenue needed for these once-in-a-lifetime investments. So by year 16, you d actually see this package working to reduce the deficit, Buttigieg said. We re just asking corporations to pay their fair share at a rate, by the way, that would be lower than it s been for most of my life, he continued, referring to an increase in corporate taxes. Now, again, if folks on [Capitol Hill] have other ideas about how to pay for it, we re going to be interested to hear those ideas, but there is a clear vision to pay for this bill in full.
I think [Transportation Secretary] Pete [Buttigieg] and I could come up with an infrastructure bill. What the president proposed this week is not an infrastructure bill, said Wicker, adding that what the bill really amounted to was a huge tax increase. I’m all for working with the administration on an infrastructure bill, he continued, before predicting that many Americans would lose their jobs if the corporate tax rate was raised to 28 percent, as proposed by the president. How could the president expect to have bipartisanship when his proposal is a repeal of one of our signature issues in 2017? Wicker asked.
