WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senate Majority Whip, today spoke at a press conference about the Republican agenda for American safety, security, and prosperity.

Sen. Barrasso’s said:

“Republicans were elected to provide safety and prosperity for the American people.

“Democrats lost the last election because they were the party of high prices and open borders.

“The sooner we can pass this comprehensive economic plan, the sooner the American people will see the benefits that will come from this legislation.

“The Leader just talked about a number of those things: higher wages, lower prices, lower taxes, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, lower taxes on our seniors. All of these things are critically important.

“Now the Democrats have said they’re going to do everything they can to defeat this bill. If that happens, the American people will see the largest tax increase in the history of this country. We cannot allow that to happen.

“I’ve said it before: the Democrats are also the party of historically high taxes.

“We’re there to provide safety, security, and prosperity for the American people. We’re ready to get America back on track.”
