ICYMI: Roy on Breitbart News Daily: "We’ve got to reduce spending"

Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Mike Slater on "Breitbart News Daily" on SiriusXM Patriot to discuss budget reconciliation.

Key Quotes:

“I think quality and getting it done the right way matters. So I’m not necessarily as focused on the timeline as I am getting it done correctly,”

“We’ve got to reduce spending, and we hope we’ll get the get the job done with a total package that gets tax cuts, the thing that we want to deliver on, but we’ve got to reduce spending,"

“Nobody that sent me to Washington sent me to come here to continue to rack up mountains of debt. I mean, we’re $36 going on $37 trillion in debt, a trillion dollars of interest every year, more spending on interest than the national defense. We are barreling towards still $2 trillion of deficit spending per year... So you know, the question is going to be, do we have seriousness of resolve to reduce spending?”

“I know my Republican colleagues. They like to cut taxes like breathing. So do I. I’d like to eliminate taxes. But guess what? My same Republican colleagues have made promise after promise after promise in spending, right? And not just defense, not just border in our constitutional obligations, but lots of programs. And so if they’re going to be unwilling to touch Medicaid, for example, and reform it, then guess what? They’re going to be the one saying that they’re going to be for tax increases, because at some point they have to be able to do basic math on how we have to spend for all this stuff.”
