Representative Thomas Massie warned his colleagues still debating in the middle of the night that he couldn’t vote for a bill that would cut taxes and increase spending.
“Where have we heard that before? How do you bind a future Congress to these promises? This bill is a debt bomb ticking,” added the Kentucky congressmen, known for his libertarian views. Massie was one of two Republican “no” votes on the bill, along with Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio. One Republican, Representative Andy Harris of Maryland, voted “present.” Every Democrat voted against the bill.
“Congress can do funny math, fantasy math, if it wants,” Massie added. “But bond investors don’t.”
In one final message, Massie laid into his colleagues and his party, saying, “If something is beautiful, you don’t do it after midnight.”
I’d love to stand here and tell the American people “we can cut your taxes and increase spending and everything will be fine.”But I can’t because I’m here to deliver a dose of reality about the ticking debt bomb known as the “Big Beautiful Bill.” pic.twitter.com/eLT5GwNj11
