But because we have to go through the Byrd rule, and I know this is getting wonky, we have to put instructions to the committees on what they're supposed to do. Once we get those instructions, then we set the target date, but we can't do that until after we get the budget passed through reconciliation. Then we actually do the target of what we expect each committee to actual cut.
Our target is $2 trillion. What Rick Scott is wanting to do is up to $10 trillion, which probably isn't feasible for us to do, but we'll land somewhere in between there. So by the time we're done with reconciliation, we'll cut more than the House budget is.
But you just have to be patient with us and make sure that we can get the budget passed, because without the budget passed, we can never get to reconciliation to begin with.
Well, first of all, people support President Trump and understand President Trump is not looking at this like a politician. The reason why we've allowed these countries to take advantage of us is because no one had the stones to stand up to these other countries and quit letting them take advantage of us.
We understand that President Trump is looking at this as long term, not just to the next election. but long-term. So that's our future economy. We're talking about a generational change in our economy. For the last 40 years, we've allowed, actually the last 60 years, we've allowed countries to take advantage of our true economy, which is the strongest and the best economy in the world.
And what we've done is made these other countries rich. China wouldn't exist if they didn't have access to us. The president is saying it's time to right the wrong. So yes, there's going to be a little short-term gain, or short-term pain, but it's going to be a long-term gain for us in our economy because the president understands the economy better than any other president out there.
So let's talk about what's going to happen. When we start talking about reciprocal tariffs, not just tariffs that are one for one. For instance, I use Japan for this. Japan has zero tariffs on American manufactured vehicles going into Japan. However, you cannot actually buy an American-made vehicle in Japan because of their rules.
So even though they have zero tariffs, you cannot find a single dealership in Japan that sells Fords and Chevys. but we have Japan vehicles driving all over our country. So what the president is saying, reciprocal means not only do you have the same tariff level, but we have the same access to your economy. If you want access to us, we're gonna have access to you.
If you want free trade with us and free access to our economy, we want free trade with you and access to your economy too, because we know that America can compete and actually beat any other country out there on manufacturing goods. And for farmers and ranchers, Charlie, I'm a rancher, generational rancher. We've been in our land raising cattle since the 1840s. Is the market great? No.
Is it wonderful right now? No. But you can talk to any farmer and any rancher out there right now. They're tired of countries like Brazil and like Canada and even Mexico that are subsidizing their farmers and giving them access to our market, which is driving down our prices.
Well, you got to have regulation reform because regulation can be a tax on the consumer too and tax on the manufacturer. So if we have zero taxes on manufacturers and we have high regulations, it doesn't make any difference. But the developed world average for taxes on corporations, 15%. We're sitting at 21%.
Yet people still want to do business with us because they want to have access to our economy. So we have to we got to hold the taxes for corporations at where they're at. We can't increase like Chip Roy wants to increase corporate tax rates. We can't do that because we still got to be competitive. At the same time, we've got to have labor tax rates that are actually favorable to corporations.
The Democrats are out there saying that we're going to cut taxes for billionaires and millionaires, all of Donald Trump's buddies, which is false because we're saying we're going to hold tax policy where it currently is, but we're going to deregulate these industries that have been stifled and which has caused them to move out of our country and go into a more favorable regulatory environment.
And then sell the product back to us. So the president is looking at twofold. One, make taxes permanent. So they're not just simply planning on a four-year or eight-year term. They actually have a long-term term. So we're going to make taxes permanent. We're going to have actually friendly environmental regulations.
We're going to have an environmental or regulatory environment that's going to be conducive to stability in the market without hurting our economy and without hurting our environment. And we're going to streamline it so you know that you can get it built without having to worry about it. That's because we have a president in the office that understands business.
And he understands what it takes to bring manufacturing back. So that's why you're already seeing all these companies that are saying, hey, we're investing in you. I had a country the other day call me that they're wanting a very wealthy company.
Middle East country that I've actually became very good friends with with the president there that has said that they're willing to put one point four trillion dollars into the U.S. economy.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
It does. I've been on going to these liberal medias because we kind of have to to get our message out there right. And I was on CNN. They asked me what the day felt like. And I said, man, sunrise was beautiful. The air in my lungs tasted better. And my protein shake was awesome. It just seems like there's a tremendous amount of hope and optimism and excitement for this golden age we're going in.
And I tell you, it sure feels a heck of a lot better than it did four years ago.
