JUST IN_ Rick Scott, Roger Marshall, & Ron Johnson Provide Major Update On Budget Reconciliation

Published | Video Starts at 16:06

And no, it's. It's a lot of small checks. So let me just quick hop in, because, you know, Roger was talking about Medicare. You know, my adjusted numbers. Leave Medicare alone, leave Social Security alone. You could even leave Medicaid alone and still have $700 billion of expenditures this year that are above and beyond the inflationary increase from 2019. So I know CBO just came out and said you can't meet the House budget number without impacting or looking at Medicare and Medicaid. It's completely false. (16:06–16:19)

CLAIM

Asserts that $700 billion in expenditures exceed inflationary increases from 2019, even without cutting Medicare, Social Security, or Medicaid.
