Later that day, at 22:14 UTC, he addressed concerns about the Senate’s reconciliation bill. He stated, “You’re going to hear a lot about the tax cuts, but nobody is talking about the deficit…We are going to get the tax cuts done in some fashion, but we cannot saddle our children and grandchildren with an exploding national debt.” This statement highlights his apprehension over long-term financial implications. The original post is available here.
In a subsequent post on July 2nd at 22:50 UTC, Rep. Self criticized the Senate’s approach by stating “The Senate’s version of the BBB is morally and fiscally bankrupt.” He advocated for aligning closer with “the House-passed version” of the legislation. The full text can be found here.
