Rick Scott (R-Fla.) slammed Democrats\u2019 reckless tax and spend policies. Speaking on Capitol Hill on Monday, Scott criticized the left by saying it appeared Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) had taken control of the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>Scott added the Democrats\u2019 agenda of \u201csystemic socialism\u201d put American families on the hook with higher taxes, skyrocketing debt and raging inflation. He pointed to the Democrats\u2019 new budget outlook by saying the federal government was not living within its means and the left wasn\u2019t trying to balance their spending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at a little over $28 trillion worth of debt. I think 28.5 and we\u2019re about to hit 30 trillion. We\u2019ve already passed the debt ceiling,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey\u2019re projecting to take our federal debt to $45 trillion. They\u2019re assuming interest rates are going to stay down. They\u2019re assuming in 2031, the annual interest expense will be $1 trillion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott had been among several GOP lawmakers who were in favor of improving U.S. infrastructure, but in a way he said was fiscally responsible. He argued Congress needed to become more honest with the American people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The radical Left\u2019s reckless tax and spending spree will make inflation worse and lead to the biggest tax increase in recent history.<\/p>\n<p>We are glad to see some House Democrats finally recognize that, but when will the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenateDems?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenateDems<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3bUMPjocpu\">https:\/\/t.co\/3bUMPjocpu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senate Republicans (@NRSC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRSC\/status\/1424867141174632450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Senate passed the massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure package on Tuesday in a 69 to 30 vote.
