We would contrast that example with those Republican Presidential candidates who said they wouldn't support $1 of additional revenue for $10 of spending cuts to get our budget in balance. This is a ``wreckonciliation'' bill that asks nothing of Mr. Exxon, that asks nothing more of hedge fund managers, but asks those who are most vulnerable in our society to share more pain. I think we must reject this reconciliation bill which is a wreck for so many American families.

Who benefited from this budget-busting king-of-debt effort? Well, the best place to look is Donald Trump himself.
