Hagerty: It’s more government, more taxes, more spending, more debt, more inflation

WASHINGTON—United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today released the following statement after opposing Bernie Sanders and the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget measure that will fundamentally and radically transform America:

“To put it simply: it’s more government, more taxes, more spending, more debt, and more inflation on the backs of Tennessee families and workers and their children and grandchildren. Democrats lit the fuse tonight on a socialist debt bomb that will radically reshape our society and economy, reducing opportunity and prosperity and making Americans more dependent on the federal government. The American taxpayer and the American Dream is the biggest loser tonight; Communist China, however, is laughing all the way to the bank.”
