While President Trump celebrated the AHCA passing in the House, Stephen Moore said the next top priorities, are passing his tax plan, passing his budget, and building the wall.
Stephen Moore, an economist from the Heritage Foundation, said the spending bill that passed was a disappointment.
But Moore thinks President Trump made a calculated political move to not fight on the budget, because he wanted to get the healthcare act through.
But now, it’s time for conservatives and the Trump administration to fight for the priorities of the American people.
Moore said economic growth and putting Americans back to work is the key to solving the budget and poverty problem
But if the Democrats want to shutdown the government in opposition to Trump’s tax plan and the budget, then the blame is on them.
“It’s no great crisis if we have a short-term government shutdown. It only means that places like the Department of Education, the Department of Energy won’t show up to work for a couple of days, but if it is to fight over a major principle about our debt or about what are the functions of our government what should we be funding or what shouldn’t we be funding. If its about funding our national security to make our county is safe, then Republicans should stand up for principle they shouldn’t just go in fetal position over these budget fights,” Moore said.
Moore said he has never seen an opposition party like the Democratic Party, but despite this resistance, President Trump’s agenda is moving forward.
