Like the big beautiful bill, it was great that we cut taxes, but maybe we should have cut spending too. Right. So I mean it was only Republican votes and we weren't able to reduce the deficit. We've got, we're running $2 trillion deficits. We've got three $39 trillion worth of debt. If you go in my state, the rich are doing unbelievable. They are really doing well. (03:26–03:29)
