President Joe Biden criticized some of House Republicans' legislative priorities Monday, saying the bill Republicans passed last week to rescind a funding bump for the IRS to hire some 87,000 workers would add $114 billion to the deficit.
Biden didn't address the documents issue specifically, or Republicans' investigative bent generally, in Monday's remarks. Instead, he tried to draw a contrast in policies.Biden delivered what was perhaps his harshest comment Monday indirectly. He said his administration was able to improve the lives of Black Americans and others while being fiscally responsible, touting an increase in the corporate minimum tax and a decrease in the deficit.
"These guys are the fiscally demented, I think," Biden added in an apparent reference to Republicans. "They don't quite get it."Biden was more specific when criticizing some of House Republicans' legislative priorities. He said the bill Republicans to rescind a funding bump for the IRS to hire some 87,000 workers including agents would add $114 billion to the deficit bymaking it easier for the wealthy and big corporations to cheat on their taxes. Republicans say their bill, which has little chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate, is needed to prevent IRS agents from going after hardworking Americans.
Talking about civil rights accomplishments – including making lynching a federal hate crime, establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday and enshrining marriage equality in federal law – Biden said addressing abuses of the past is"not being `woke'."
