Jim Renacci: “I am very concerned about Social Security. I am very concerned about the shortfalls and the outlays.”

Too often we worry about the next election and not the next generation, which is a problem with the politics many times that show up in this Committee.

The problem is 1 or 2 percent on a $3.5 trillion budget is a big number in many cases.

If you cut 25 percent, you would basically have to gut our military and gut every bit of discretionary spending, because the 70 percent is on autopilot.

I share President Trump's concern about unfair trade, including the global problem of overcapacity in steel and aluminum and the theft of American technology innovation.
