I cannot support this pay-go amendment because it would continue the double-standard that exists between taxes and spending. Under current law, more than a dozen mandatory programs will expire over the next 10 years. Extending these programs will cost nearly $1 trillion according to CBO. But, unlike tax cuts that expire during these same years, pay-go does not apply to the cost of extending these mandatory programs. This double standard is unacceptable.
Grassley opposes a pay-go amendment, highlighting a perceived double standard in tax and spending policies.

I don’t plan on dying in office — but if I did, I don’t want a Democrat governor choosing my successor.
Contrary to your misguided statement, the major embarrassment of the hearing was Democrats falling over themselves defending unlawful and unconstitutional actions by Jack Smith.
So you better get on your social media and get people cranked up to see what the alternative is.
Jack Smith should apologize for taking the bank records of 42 Iowans & 4,782 Americans.
