Mark Pocan: “The Senate in that same bill added room for another trillion…”

“You know, originally everyone was saying it's a four and a half trillion dollar cut, but the Joint Committee on Taxation came back and said, no, it's actually five and a half trillion in order to extend these cuts. And The Senate in that same bill added room for another trillion and a half in other tax cuts if they choose to. So they've actually set up for $7 trillion in tax cuts. And what we're seeing right now in many ways have been the services starting to be affected by all these firings.” (16:47–16:55)
