Going back to the price tag for this DOJ fund, $1.8 billion.
You have people that can't afford groceries, gas is high, people are making sacrifices in their personal lives to accommodate for this rise in prices.
People are telling us that they feel financially worse off.
They're very concerned about the uncertainty.
How can you justify that amount of taxpayer money for that fund when people are struggling?
What do you say to Americans who wonder why this fund is getting all this money and I can't afford basic life amenities?
Well, let me say a couple things about that.
First of all, you said $1.8 billion it's important for people to realize we're not just writing a $1.8 billion check.
We're going to take a lot of people who are going to apply and say that they have been mistreated by their government.
We're going to handle those situations case by case and if we determine they were in fact mistreated by their government, we think it's reasonable to give them just compensation.
But when you talk about funds then and and pots of money that are out there, I mean, thanks to Donald Trump's leadership in the working families tax cut, we put $40 into a rural healthcare fund in order to stop the closure or at least prevent some closure of rural hospitals and rural clinics that have been decimated under the Biden administration.
We had a piece of tax legislation that put hundreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of families.
No taxes on social security, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on tips.
So, I I I don't I reject the idea that we can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
We can give just compensation to people who are mistreated by the government.
We can also make sure that the American people, we do everything that we can to make their lives better, to make them more prosperous, to give them better jobs.
That is the primary focus of Donald J. Trump's White House.
That's the question all of us ask every single day is how do we make our fellow citizens more prosperous?
We can do that while also taking care of people who are mistreated by the last administration.
