Budget - Taxes - DEBT

To: Sen. Schmitt, Rep. Graves, Sen. Hawley

Greetings, The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) will increase the national debt by $37 TRILLION over thirty years. It will also SHRINK the economy by 1.8% While the short term impact may be positive, the LONG TERM impact cannot sustain this growth. Financing tax cuts with DEBT is NOT good in the long run. You have made strong statements against adding to the debt. I want to know if you plan to support ANY budget that has tax cuts which are NOT paid for. Using trick language saying they are "already in the budget" is not true so please don't insult me with this excuse. I want to know HOW they are paid for. You would never have agreed to this if the other party were proposing such ridiculous ideas. I want an answer and fully expect you to reject any such increase to our debt.
