Oh, absolutely. I don't know. This bill doesn't have it. If they brought it to the floor right now, there's not a chance it'll get the 51 votes it needs.

Because our audience is like, wait a second, I thought it passed the House. Are you saying that the Senate can change it and then there's a reconciliation between the House and the Senate? Is that correct?

Well, in 2010, I sprang out of the Tea Party movement. And as I did praise my, I would shout, this is a fight for freedom. We are mortgaging our children's future. It's wrong. It's immoral.

And so he may not be worried about that. I am extremely worried about that. That is my primary goal running for Congress. This is our moment. We have witnessed an unprecedented level of increased spending, 58% since 2019, other than World War II. This is our only chance to reset that to a reasonable pre-pandemic level spending.
