Big, If True: Barrasso Predicts Senate Will Match House Proposed Spending Cuts in Reconciliation Package
Susie Moore


Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) joined Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss the efforts of congressional Republicans to pass President Donald Trump's agenda.

It was a wide-ranging discussion, covering the first (and next) 100 days, Democrats' efforts to thwart the successes of the administration — and Republicans — and tariffs. But the key moments, in my view, came when Bartiromo pressed Barrasso on proposed spending cuts in the reconciliation package.

House Republicans have proposed roughly $1.5 trillion in cuts, and the concern is that Senate Republicans won't be able to meet that. But Barrasso stated affirmatively that he believes they will meet, if not exceed, that level of cuts as they work toward finalizing the reconciliation package.

I love the 1.5 trillion in budget cuts, but is it over 10 years and what is the actual expected yearly expenditures vs. revenue per year.

IOW, if we are only cutting 150 billion per year and are only reducing the annual deficit from 2 trillion per year to 1.85 trillion we haven't really accomplished all that much.

Like it or not entitlements will end up being cut in the future.
