In fact, it\u2019s the opposite. You had an opportunity there to stop this whole agenda, but your colleagues decided not to go that path.

Now, because they did that, the path is wide open for much higher taxes for the rest of us to pay. Isn\u2019t that true?CRUZ: It\u2019s exactly true, and it\u2019s maddening. I can tell you in the Senate, we spent week after week at lunch yelling at each other, with most of the Republicans saying to those who wanted to support this infrastructure bill, \u201cWhy are you doing it? Why are you facilitating the Bernie Sanders socialist budget?\u201d They argued, \u201cNo, no, no, if we pass this, it\u2019ll make the other less likely to pass.\u201d That never made sense to me. The Democrats never made any agreement to that. They didn\u2019t say, \u201cWe won\u2019t pursue the Bernie Sanders budget.\u201d What they said is, \u201cOkay, we\u2019ll take both; we\u2019ll take $1.2 trillion here, and then we\u2019ll take $5.5 trillion here.\u201d That\u2019s what the Democrats said.And I will tell you, in the House, for the House Republicans who voted for this, Joe Biden and the Democrats, their agenda was on the rails. It was failing. It was on the way to going down. And what those Republicans did is they breathed life into it; they gave Joe Biden a political win.

And that additional momentum, unfortunately, makes it more likely that they whip their Democrats into shape and pass some multi-trillion-dollar spending bill on top of this that will include, unfortunately, trillions in new taxes. That\u2019s what the stakes are all about. I still hope it doesn\u2019t happen.And I hope Joe Manchin does what you suggested, what he suggested, which is to say, \u201cHey, let\u2019s kick this till next year. Let\u2019s wait until inflation is licked, till we\u2019ve stopped inflation, then we can talk about the next package.\u201d I think that would show a lot of wisdom. That would be a very statesman-like act for Joe Manchin to do.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
