years maga republicans if they re still as i said, this is not your father s republican party. if we re going to have to vote on whether you will have social security, medicare, medicaid and what amounts you ll have in each of the programs. you know what they re likely to do? use them as hostages every five years to get their way on other things. think about it. give us another tax cut for billionaires or social security gets it. stop investing in clean energy or you re going you re going to kiss your medicare good-bye. it s outrageous. it s outrageous. i can t believe that the majority of republicans buy onto this plan, but it s a plan in writing, and he s in the leadership. finally, let s do one more comparison. let s compare our two plans when it comes to the deficit. republicans love to attack me as a big spender. as if that s the reason why
senator rick scott member of the commerce homeland security and armed services committees. senator, thank you very, very much for joining us. being the first place you talk to after hearing the president call your name several times and saying that your vision, your plan, your rescue for america plan is now basically what they re hinging all their hopes on, fundraising off a certain section where you say every american should pay tax. even the 50% or so that don t. what do you say when you hear democrats like the president say yeah, that won t win. we got them now. i m paraphrasing but that s what they re doing. first off, he was supposed to talk about inflation, right? and he took no responsibility. and he has no plan. let s look at the biden agenda right now. we have 8.5% inflation. we ve got the highest gas prices ever. we ve got low labor participation. we got a g.d.p. that s declining. we got mortgage rates skyrocketing and we got a stock market going down. so i mean, he doesn t
