Sen. Scott Criticizes Democrats’ Spending Plan He Says ‘Mortgages’ the Nation’s Future

South Carolina Republican Sen. 👤Tim Scott blasted Democrats’ reckless spending spree on Wednesday, claiming they “continue to mortgage the future of our country.”

“Democrats continue to mortgage the future of our country in pursuit of a radical agenda that will leave us deeper in debt, less free, and more divided,” Scott said in a statement.

“This budget gives more power to the IRS, will lead to the destruction of right-to-work laws and elimination of the gig economy, and finances amnesty for illegal immigrants,” he added. “Taxes will go up, while inflation is already through the roof. After Democrats passed trillions in spending in the last few months alone, American families are now forced to bear the cost of their recklessness.”

Scott shared the statement in a tweet in which he said the Democrats’ spending was “something I can’t get behind.”

The senator’s statement also addressed single moms and seniors he believes will struggle with expected inflation as a result of the left’s increased spending.

“Single moms — just like the one who raised me — are already wondering how to afford back-to-school supplies for their kids. Faced with skyrocketing prices at the gas pump and grocery store, how are our seniors on fixed incomes supposed to afford basic necessities?” Scott asked.
