your previous segment the supply chain issues are real american families cannot get access to the goods that they need and it begs the question why are we continuing to import from china when we should produce these here in america again policies in place that put america last not first and that is wrong. if you look at the tax cut is driven the american economy to the highest levels and we have a tremendous revenue stream coming in once again washington doesn t have a revenue problem has a spending problem and to suggest that we should spend more of your hard earned dollars by having irs spy on your bank account is flat wrong, we cannot stand for that. jon: congressman from georgia, republican, thank you. former president bill clinton released from a southern california hospital earlier today he walked out with his wife hillary thinking doctors and nurses as he left he was hospitalized for an infection and will go to new york to finish his course of antibiotics according to the offici
do you support the infrastructure plan as it stands roughly at a trillion dollars, half of that using reprovided covid funds that have not been spent. are you onboard with that in. i m onboard with it as long as we re not raising taxes to get there. and my understanding there s roughly $2 trillion in unspent covid relief money, so the funding mechanism is there, and i do believe we can do it without raising taxes. i m very, very cautious and, i think, suspect of more spending when we have to raise taxes on the american people. washington has never had a revenue problem, but we ve had a spending problem, and it s been republicans and democrats that have contributed to it. and you have the federal government, state and local government literally shut businesses down because of covid, but they kept collecting taxes. they didn t cut spending, set any money aside. so all i would ask is the government treat themselves the way they treat businesses in this country as well. i ll support it a
