Senate Majority Leader John Thune was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the “Big Beautiful Bill” and recission packages.
Thune also slammed the Democrats for obstructing Trump’s judicial nominees.
“When will the American people feel the impact of all of this?” Bartiromo asked.
“Hopefully soon. I think the American people will, and the nice thing about getting all of this done before, particularly the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ before the 4th of July recess Maria, is that it has a lot of time to get into effect and to impact people’s lives,” Thune said.
“This part of the President’s agenda, and it’s a big part of the President’s agenda, was designed to impact those very Americans,” Thune said.
“Probably one of the most important pieces here is that you made the tax cuts permanent,” Bartiromo said.
“It is and I think it’s one of the things that we really fought for in that Maria, was to make those tax cuts permanent. And I think if you are looking, a lot of the folks that you talk to out there, the one thing they want is economic certainty,” Thune said.
“If you want to get the budget balanced in this country, you’ve got to restrain spending, which we are also working on, but you need pro-growth policies and taxes and regulations and energy that generate more economic growth. Because growth also leads to more government revenue,” Thune continued.
Senator Thune also discussed the possibility of a government shutdown because of the Democrat party’s unwillingness to listen to the people.
“This is a party struggling for an identity. This is a party that is completely out of step with the mainstream of this country,” Thune said of Democrats effort to cause a government shutdown.
“It’s incredible what we are seeing in New York. I mean, do you see a tone and a pivot toward socialism within your colleagues on the left?” Bartiromo asked.
The Senator had commented on the major shift within the Democrat party to the extreme left, reflecting Bartiromo’s comment. He cited the New York mayoral race as an example of the difference of how the party was compared to when President Clinton was in office.
“There was not that long ago when you had so called you know, ‘Blue Dog Democrats.’ President Clinton now would look like a, I mean he would look like a far-right winger,” Thune said.
“They have moved so far to the left, and they are getting pulled further and further in that direction and that mayoral election in New York is probably the best and most recent indication,” Thune continued.
Thune said the Democrats have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
“[The Democrats] are making it extremely difficult to get any of the president’s nominees through the process here – it’s obstruct, it’s delay – it’s block. That’s been the pattern and it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display here in the United States Senate,” Thune said.
