Chuck Schumer Slams Republicans For Proposing $9 Trillion In New Debt

Is that really what we campaigned on? Is that really what the Republican Party represents? Our first order of business will be a budget that never balances? And they tell, ‘oh, but it’s not a budget.’ If you listen they will say ‘no, no, it is a vehicle to repeal Obamacare.’
And yet I have the title in front of me. It says ‘Concurrent Resolution for the Budget of 2017.’ We have special rules that when you pass the budget, that we may be able to repeal Obamacare, and I’m all for that. But why should we vote on a budget that doesn’t represent our conservative view?
Because we’re in a hurry, we can’t be bothered, it’s just numbers. I was told again and again, ‘swallow it, take it, they’re just numbers.’ 

 The fact is Repubs need to show by deed that they are the conservative party and put an end to the insane deficit spending that is bankrupting our future.   It is shameful if the Repubs do the same as the Democrats and run massive deficits.  If that happens, all hope is lost IMO.
