I'm in complete agreement with you. And I think it's a lack of leadership on Trump's part. if Trump is going to criticize Taylor Swift and Zelensky and Putin and everybody, you know, all day long on Truth Social, he can criticize Congress and the Democrats and the Republicans on not cutting spending. I think he should speak up. I think he was elected to do that. It was a big part of the mandate.
And by the way, this opportunity to fix mandatory spending, it was an opportunity to introduce some structural reform in Social Security. Another reason why I think that there is a degree of disgracia in this bill, particularly with how Congress had acted, and not addressing what is becoming a critical issue because everyone wants to get reelected in the next 12 months, 18 months.
that the Congress then says, hey, we've got more money, we've got more revenue, let's spend more money, because then they'll create a bunch of waste and nonsense that'll arise from having increased revenue.
And here we are seeing Congress, for whatever reason, you can listen to Ron Johnson, you can listen to Rand Paul, you can listen to others say, you know what, we can't cut that deep, it is going to be too harmful to our constituents, we need to keep the programs at their current levels, or make no changes at all, or only modest changes. And that's where we are. That's the reality.
This bill passed with one vote in the House, one vote. And so a key point to note, and I've said this from day one, and every time I've gone to DC, and every time we've talked about Doge, I've said, there's no way any of this stuff's gonna change without legislative action from the Congress.
And I like to believe... And there's a ton of responsibility on Congress. I'm not going to say like, oh, he did it. The Supreme Court can only do what Congress lets them do by failing to address issues in law. They're so happy to just write a law and be like, we did something. Look at this one thing we've done in the last four years.
