HOST: Are you disappointed in Republicans here in Washington? I mean, meager rounding error. That doesn't sound like bold or any sort of change that you might seem proud of.

ROJO: I've always been disappointed of the uni-party. We've got big spenders in our party too. Listen, it's always easy to spend money, especially when it's not yours. It's very easy to always cut taxes. It's very difficult politically to be the guy who says, we can't go to Disney World. We can't afford that. We've got this massive structural deficit. And by the way, according to CBO, we're going to add about $22 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years. Go from $37 trillion in debt to $58, $59 over $60 trillion. It's completely unsustainable. This is our one opportunity. Again, Democrats won't help us. They have no problem with that. Republicans have to be the party of fiscal conservatives in control.And right now, we're not.

Someone really needs to break the news to RoJo that the Disney World that the nation cannot afford is the GOP tax scams. The 2017 GOP tax scam added one to two trillion dollars to the national deficit. The current bill that the GOP is fighting over would add nearly another four trillion dollars.
