(AP Photo\/Carolyn Kaster File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 10:22 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, July 13, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Senate Republicans are addressing concerns over a potential attempt by Democrats to revive their<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/5376\"> Build Back Better<\/a> agenda. While speaking to the press Tuesday, GOP leadership addressed the matter while asserting their colleagues on the left are attempting to solve the economic crisis by spending more money.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve got rampant, runaway inflation,\u201d stated Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.). \u201cThe American people are paying the price and what is the Democrat prescription? To double down, to spend more and to tax more.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The alleged new spending package could supposedly cut the initial cost by $1 trillion and aims to focus on health care costs and energy. However, this would require raising taxes, which would primarily hit business owners and corporations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cNow they want to pour fuel on the flames by making it more likely that we go into a recession by raising taxes on all of these businesses,\u201d explained Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). \u201cThe vast majority of businesses in America, which will only cause them to reduce the number of employees.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who was said by Democrats to have killed the bill last year, has reportedly been in talks with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) recently. Democrats are looking at reducing the cost of prescription drugs within the revised package, which is a priority Manchin supports. However, Sen. Thune said Democrats real \u201cprescription\u201d won\u2019t benefit the American people.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re talking about higher taxes on the American people, higher taxes on businesses, higher prices and lower wages,\u201d stressed the South Dakota Republican. \u201cThat\u2019s the Democrat prescription.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to reports, Democrats hope to pass the revised bill before September by using the budget reconciliation process. However, Republicans are worried there could be long lasting effects if a spending package like this is passed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe American people have had enough,\u201d Thune stated. \u201cAnd I hope there are a couple of wise Democrats who will sink this really bad idea and make sure that we don\u2019t go down a path that leads to even more economic tumult the American people are already feeling.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LIVE: The Senate Republican leadership team speaks to the press.
