Washington D.C.- As the United States continues to bury itself in debt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) has voiced concerns with the financial state of America, claiming "we've got to stop this wasteful spending," Sen. Scott has been extremely critical of the Biden administration and their massive spending particularly the stimulus bill that cost over $1 trillion. Scott believes he has the answer to President Biden's inflation problem.
The Floridian spoke with Scott yesterday where we asked him if he had the answer to curbing inflation.
"We've got to stop this wasteful spending. We've got to stop allowing the debt to continue to go up," said Scott.
Scott then elaborated what he has in the works right now to currently minimize the risk of inflation, saying that he "got the Republican caucus to agree that we're not going to raise the debt without structural changes to our budget."
The Senator is proposing that the US take a more conservative approach to spending in order to stop an inevitable financial downfall.
"That's the things you have to do, we have to stop wasting money, we've got a lot of unspent money all these COVID bills, especially the last one we didn't need so we've got to stop this," continued Scott. "We need to stop spending money and paying people more to not work. We need to help the people that need help, but don't waste money on things we don't need."
Scott's comments are in reference to the controversial COVID bill that Republicans and RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel have accused Democrats of being "grab bags," due to the high funds directed at other causes. Many conservatives speculate that the high volume of spending will discourage people to return to work once we are officially done with the Pandemic.
