During a broadcast of “The Record” on Newsmax TV this past Friday, Representative Darin Lahood (R-IL) expressed his reservations about assisting high-tax states such as New York, California, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, and even his own hometown.
Lahood mentioned, “We need to exert pressure on President Trump regarding this matter. Many fiscal conservatives in the House, myself included, aren’t in favor of bailing out these high-tax states. It ultimately costs taxpayers a lot.” He emphasized, “If we were looking at a $36 trillion surplus, the conversation might be different. But with our current debt of $36 trillion, the goal of this legislation is to foster an economic climate that propels growth and supports free market principles.”
