Paulette Jordan: Trump tax cut only benefitted rich, increased deficit

It's hypocritical that our current leaders in Washington D.C. promote being fiscally conservative, but then sleep on the job while our national debt explodes. They voted for tax cuts that only benefit the rich and make things more expensive for the rest of us. Risch voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and claimed it would somehow "reduce the debt and the deficit." He was wrong. The proof is everywhere: the national debt, federal deficit and government spending have continued to skyrocket.
