Comments from a US Republican member:
- “I am absolutely sickened by a party that campaigns on fiscal responsibility and has the temerity to go forward to the American people and say you think this is fiscally responsible. It is absolutely ridiculous.”
The context being Trump wants more debt and not all in his party agree.
This is a really old pic ... but not much ever changes does it?
