Dan Crenshaw told Newsmax Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This includes the Republican Party, which &#8220;hasn&#8217;t cared about it for the past four years,&#8221; including former President Donald Trump, the Texas Republican told Newsmax&#8217;s Saturday Report.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump never cared about it,&#8221; Crenshaw said. &#8220;We need to be frank about that. We need to start caring about it again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that Democrats have had a habit of not being able to pass a comprehensive budget out of the Budget Committee &#8220;because they&#8217;re embarrassed&#8221; by what they&#8217;re trying to pass.<\/p>\n<p>His comments come as President Joe Biden on Friday announced his call for a $6 trillion federal budget, and Crenshaw pointed out that that figure is in addition to calls for an infrastructure spending bill that is hovering at around a $1 trillion price tag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;(We had) a multi-trillion dollar bill that we shouldn&#8217;t have had back in January and now we have skyrocketing inflation,&#8221; said Crenshaw. &#8220;That infrastructure plan is very wasteful in and of itself, mostly because it has little to do with infrastructure, very small percentages for roads and bridges and highways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw said he can back money on traditional infrastructure, but not &#8220;ridiculous things like massive tax credits for green energy. I like green energy, too, but I want green energy that works no matter what kind of weather.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the failure to pass a budget, he added, &#8220;comes down to our American culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump never cared,&#8221; said Crenshaw. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t even claim that he cared. (Former House Speaker) Paul Ryan did. People call him a RINO all the time, but I think it&#8217;s ridiculous. He actually cared about the budget He proposed budgets that were balanced, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Americans must also stop believing that the government is there to &#8220;bribe&#8221; them, and to be ready to have an &#8220;adult conversation&#8221; about programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid,&#8221; he said&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These programs are what&#8217;s driving our debt massively, and they&#8217;re running out of money,&#8221; said Crenshaw. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t touch them, it&#8217;s actually the same as saying you&#8217;re going to kill them. So when there were campaign promises made, saying &#8216;I&#8217;m not going to touch them&#8217; and everybody cheered, I was like, that&#8217;s the same as saying you&#8217;re going to kill these programs. They&#8217;re going insolvent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw, a Navy veteran who lost his right eye and suffered damage to his left eye in 2012 after a homemade bomb exploded when he was deployed to Afghanistan, also said Saturday that there is a difference in his approach to legislators who are also fellow veterans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrats who are veterans, I can approach much more easily because there is that common bond,,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They have a better understanding of foreign affairs. They understand where the nuances are as opposed to what I hear from a lot of politicians on both sides, which is just sloganeering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw recently underwent surgery on his remaining eye and said he&#8217;s still recovering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I still don&#8217;t see very well, but it&#8217;s looking like I will get back to my normal state, which is correctable vision,&#8221; he said. &#8220;People don&#8217;t realize that I&#8217;m very blind because of the blast &#8230; I just don&#8217;t act like somebody who is visually impaired, but I&#8217;m very visually impaired. It&#8217;s correctable, and I&#8217;m hoping to get back to that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/span>&nbsp;See&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmaxtv.com\/\"><span>Newsmax TV<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;now carried in more than 100 million U.S. homes, on&nbsp;<strong>DirecTV<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 349,&nbsp;<strong>Dish Network&nbsp;<\/strong>Ch. 216,&nbsp;<strong>Xfinity<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 1115,&nbsp;<strong>Spectrum, U-verse<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 1220,&nbsp;<strong>FiOS<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 615,&nbsp;<strong>Frontier<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 115,&nbsp;<strong>Optimum<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 102,&nbsp;<strong>Cox cable, Suddenlink<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 102,&nbsp;<strong>Mediacom<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch. 277,&nbsp;<strong>AT&amp;T TV<\/strong>&nbsp;Ch 349,&nbsp; <strong>FUBO<\/strong> and major OTT platforms like&nbsp;<strong>Roku<\/strong>, YouTube, Xumo, Pluto and most smart TV\u2019s including&nbsp;<strong>Samsung+<\/strong>, Sony, LG, Vizio and more \u2013&nbsp;<strong>Find All Systems that Carry Newsmax \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmaxtv.com\/findus\"><span>Click Here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;real problem&#8221; with getting a budget passed in Congress is in America, because &#8220;Americans don&#8217;t care about fiscal responsibility,&#8221; Rep.
