If we had done what Trump wanted to do which was cancel the payroll tax, we would probably have about 4 million more Americans working today.

The Public Record
Thomas Miller McClintock is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 5th congressional district since 2009. A member of the Republican Party, he has been an advocate for limited government and fiscal conservatism throughout his political career. McClintock has focused on issues such as tax reform, environmental policy, and government spending. He previously served in the California State Assembly and as a member of the California State Senate, where he gained recognition for his commitment to conservative principles.
Government can't put a dollar into the economy without first taking that same dollar out of the economy.
So, frankly, to have a hearing today that is saying that this economic strategy has been a success, is delusional and dangerous.
And the thing that is so amazing is that the lesson that many on the left learned was we didn't spend enough money.
Democrats passed their $2 trillion American Rescue Plan even though the economy was well on its way to recovery.
What it did create was the highest inflation in 40 years while spending federal tax dollars on such things as $17 million on a golf course in Florida.
Thanks to the Republican passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax burden on families and job creators fell while federal revenues have grown.
Under every metric, President Biden has worsened the balance sheet of the federal government, the economic outlook for our country and the fiscal health of American families.
It is, I'm afraid, a very dangerous milestone in the left's attacks on our Constitution and its fundamental institutions.
