Ron Johnson: 我认为众议院提出的1.5万亿美元预算数字在整体预算中显得不足,未来十年美国的债务将增加约22万亿美元,平均每年赤字2.2万亿美元。众议院的大规模预算案将会增加赤字,我们的首要目标应该是减少赤字支出,而不是增加它。我们需要改革奥巴马医改,特别是医疗补助的扩张,因为它危及了残疾儿童的医疗补助。我们在社会保障、医疗保险和医疗补助之外的支出,超过了2019年的支出加上通货膨胀和人口增长后的水平。我们需要逐项审查开支,减少浪费、欺诈和滥用。特朗普总统希望增加边境安全和军队的资金,我们需要更仔细地审查这些支出。现在不是减税的时候,特别是那些不能刺激增长的减税措施。我们需要就预算问题进行深入讨论,而不是仅仅停留在口头上。我们应该修复奥巴马医改中存在的问题,并过渡到一个有效的医疗保健系统。我提议一个基于5.5万亿至6.5万亿美元的预算,而不是从7万亿美元以上开始削减。特朗普总统需要认真对待他平衡联邦预算的承诺,不能继续以拜登总统的水平支出。我会把边境防御和众议院在削减开支方面所做的努力结合起来,延长现行税法,取消自动增税,并将债务上限提高约一年。我希望简化和合理化我们的税法,而不是仅仅为了减税而增加赤字,使税法更加复杂和难以遵守。除非将预算案分成两个法案,否则在7月4日之前完成这项工作过于乐观。 Rand Paul: 我认为目前预算案中的削减幅度不足以抵消债务的增加,但我仍然会支持该法案。 Dave Anthony: 特朗普总统推动的大规模预算案在共和党控制的参议院面临质疑。

Shownotes Transcript

Last week, House Republicans passed the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" with a narrow vote of 215-214, following weeks of negotiations. The multi-trillion-dollar bill is now headed to the Senate. However, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is unhappy with the bill's hefty price tag and claims there is enough opposition to halt the process until more deficit reductions are included. Senator Johnson joins the Rundown to discuss his criticisms of the budget bill and his plans to investigate the Biden Administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Joe Biden.

According to recent reports, artificial intelligence showed signs of resistance when being told to shutdown. In one case a model even showed the willingness to blackmail engineers who wanted to replace it. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, Dr. Robert J. Marks, joins the podcast to discuss his assessment of AI's ability to harm us, take our jobs, and manipulate human capabilities.

Plus, commentary from New York Post Columnist, Karol Markowicz.
