Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) dismissed Democrat claims on their latest reconciliation package proposal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tonight, the Senate voted to give us the chance to fix a completely unnecessary budget gimmick in the underlying text of the PACT Act. This gimmick allows $400B in spending completely unrelated to veterans care. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TAuE12G8l0\">pic.twitter.com\/TAuE12G8l0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Pat Toomey (@SenToomey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenToomey\/status\/1552425283663400961?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pat-toomey-face-the-nation-transcript-07-31-2022\/\">interview<\/a> on Sunday, Toomey called the bill \u201ca gimmick.\u201d He expressed his doubts, saying that it would increase revenue while lowering the deficit. He contended that any debt reduction from the legislation over the next 10 years would be wiped out if Democrats don\u2019t end Obamacare subsidies for wealthy Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Toomey also said that he believes the bill will make inflation worse and that the corporate tax hikes included in the legislation would hurt the economy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h5><strong>\u201cThey\u2019re also counting huge amounts of additional tax revenue from giving more taxes, money to the IRS, which the CBO does not agree with,\u201d explained the Republican lawmaker. \u201cThey\u2019re also not taking into account how much our economy will slow down from this big corporate tax increase that will mostly hurt manufacturing and domestic investment. These numbers are very, very dubious.\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Toomey also stated that moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) was \u201ctaken to the cleaner\u201d\u2019 when agreeing to support the reconciliation proposal.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/serbian-president-calls-on-kosovo-to-preserve-peace-amid-threats-of-persecution\/\">Serbian President Calls On Kosovo To Preserve Peace Amid Threats Of Persecution<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
