Bill Cassidy: “I don't think the Federal Government should mandate it, frankly, just to kind of placate a Democratic political base.”

It shouldn’t have been done in the first place.

Taxpayers should get the help they need without a fight. This package gives the American people a stronger voice and makes help easier to access.

It doesn’t matter until Election Day, and that’s what matters.

If the American people feel as if there is a message coming out which is not good for the health of the United States and which is confusing people, I can tell you it probably does hurt.
