Spokesman Mike Johnson scored clear teams on Sunday in the separation of President Donald Trump on Sunday with a mega-billionaire Elon Musk.
The Republican building and convinced Trump Ally said that Musk’s criticism of the massive tax and budgetary policy of the GOP would not derail the measure, and he played Musk’s influence on the GOP-controlled congress.
“I did not run out to create a law to please the richest man in the world,” said Johnson about ABCS “this week”. “We try to help hard -working Americans, who try to take care of their families and make ends meet,” insisted Johnson.
Johnson said he had exchanged SMS with Musk since the former head of the Trump Department of Government Efficiency has emerged against the GOP bill.
Musk called it a “abomination” to put up with debts and to threaten economic stability. He asked the voters to flood the Capitol Hill with calls against the measure that is pending in the Senate after deleting the house. His criticism solved an incensed social media back and forth with Trump, who said reporters at the weekend that he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk.
The spokesman rejected Musk threats to finance opponents – even Democrats – from Republican members who reset Trump’s legislative proposal.
“We have almost no calls to the offices, a Republican congress member,” said Johnson. “And I think that points out that people are waiting for an attitude. Some that are convinced of some of his arguments, but the rest understand: This is a very exciting law.”
Johnson argued that Musk still believes that “our politics is better for human blooming. They are better for the US economy. They are better for everything he is involved in his innovation, his creation of jobs and his entrepreneurship.”
The spokesman and other Republicans, including Trump’s White House, continued their push Sunday against the forecasts that their tax and budget plans contribute annual deficits and thus have public debt that is already increasing to $ 40 trillion dollars.
Johnson insisted that Musk has bad information, and the speaker denied the forecasts of the impartial congress office, which achieves budget legislation. The invoice would extend the Trump tax reductions from 2017, reduce the expenses and reduce some other taxes, but, according to the analysis of the CBO over the decade, 10.9 million people without health insurance and Spike deficits will remain $ 2.4 trillion.
The spokesman countered the arguments that the Republicans have been doing for decades: lower taxes and spending cuts would stimulate economic growth that ensure that the deficits are falling. Annual deficits and overall debt actually rose during the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush and while Trump’s first presidency even after far -reaching tax cuts.
Russell Vouht, who heads the White House office for budget and management, said on Sunday in Fox News that CBO analysts support their models from “Artificial Baselines”. Since the 2017 tax law expired the lower interest rates, the cost estimates of CBO argued and suspected a return to the higher interest rates before this law came into force.
VOUGHT recognized CBOS indictment of the congress is to analyze laws and current law as it is written. However, he said that the office could issue additional analyzes, which means that it would be friendlier for GOP goals. When asked whether the White House would ask for alternative estimates, CBO again burdens the burden and repeats that the office can publish the office more analyzes.
Other Republicans carefully approached the battle of the Trump Musiness.
“As a former professional fighter, I learned a long time ago not to get between two fighters,” said Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mulllin about CNNS “State of the Union”.
He even compared the two billionaire companies with a married couple.
“President Trump is a friend of mine, but I don’t have to get, I can have friends who have disagreements,” said Mullin. “My wife and I love each other very much and sometimes, sometimes she sometimes does not agree with me, but that doesn’t mean that we cannot concentrate on what is best for our family. At the moment there can be a disagreement, but we are laser what is best for American people.”
