President Trump on Sunday Morning Futures
- “We’re cutting $1.7 trillion … We’re going to have growth like we’ve never seen before.” (Watch)
- “It takes care of the border. There’s also No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Social Security, No Tax on Overtime.” (Watch)
Senator Markwayne Mullin on Meet the Press
- “This cuts spending. It’s the largest deficit reduction by any Congress in history. It makes tax cuts permanent — instead of taxes rising by $4 trillion on January 1, we’re restoring tax cuts that will allow an average family of four to take home over $10,000 more each year.” (Watch)
- “We’re eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse from the Medicaid system, ensuring it serves those for whom it was intended.” (Watch)
Senator Jim Banks on Fox News Sunday
- “This legislation represents the largest spending cut in American history — a staggering $1.6 trillion reduction, while dismantling the so-called Green New Deal initiatives from the Biden Administration. It also offers the biggest tax cut in history for working-class families.” (Watch)
- “My family is blue-collar and working class. They’re already facing an average tax increase of $2,000 annually. The Democrats want to exacerbate their burdens? … They’re intent on taxing the working class further, while President Trump and Republicans are committed to providing tax relief for those who need it most.” (Watch)
Senator Katie Britt on State of the Union
- “We will ensure that hardworking Americans retain more of their income. We’re focusing on securing our borders — not just for today, but for future generations. A robust national defense is essential to ensure our military personnel are well-trained, equipped, and ready worldwide. We aim to unleash American energy … Our goal is to ensure that essential programs are accessible to those in need while letting workers know they’re valued and have a real opportunity to achieve the American Dream — that’s the essence of this bill.” (Watch)
- “The necessary reforms included in this bill will provide genuine solutions for the American populace … It eliminates taxes on tips and overtime. Real, hardworking Americans will experience tangible benefits from this.” (Watch)
