The Republican congressman voted for the 2017 tax cuts that added more than a trillion dollars to the national debt.
Representative Matt Gaetz was confronted on Sunday about his vote in favor of former President Donald Trump's 2017 tax cuts that drove up the national deficit.Congress last week voted to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership position after Gaetz, a Florida Republican, filed a motion to vacate the office—sending the House of Representatives into chaos.
He specifically pointed to a plan for the federal government to refinance $8 trillion in debt.'Well, the voters of Florida's First Congressional District sent me here with about 70 percent of the vote. So I think that anyone trying to kick me out of Congress because they didn't like me would have a bone to pick with them. But think about what we're saying. I'm the guy saying we need a budget,' he said.
