Sen. Rick Scott Details Plan to “Rescue America” on Senate Floor

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Rick Scott went to the Senate floor to outline his " Rescuing America " plan focused on confronting America's affordability crisis and combating the rise of socialism within the Unites States. Senator Scott's plan aims to bring down costs and boost wages with three simple steps: Balance the federal budget. Cut needless government regulations. Create more private sector jobs. Watch Senator Rick Scott's remarks by clicking HERE or on the image above. Excerpts from Senator Scott's speech can be found below: Senator Rick Scott said, "Zohran Mamdani is absolutely right about something that is facing every American right now: our political system has totally failed the American people. And it's set to fail the next generation, too. Socialism is not the solution to this problem. But I'm not shocked that affordability is the number one issue for Americans right now." "People understand that it's the fault of Congress giving them the short end of the deal. It's no surprise that people see hope in a [socialist] alternative when it's clear that politicians maintaining the status quo aren't interested in helping them. But socialism only leads to ruin in the end. If this country turns towards socialism, my grandkids won't have an America to inherit." "Instead of holding government accountable, politicians in Washington have armed a $40 trillion debt bomb by massively expanding the federal government. We're only one economic crisis from exploding. While promising to lower prices, Congress keeps approving massive government spending bills, causing prices and interest rates to skyrocket for the same voters we promised to lower prices for." "Congress is responsible here. Who can blame the American people for being angry? The American Dream that existed for their parents and grandparents is out of reach for them. Where is our outrage on their behalf in this chamber?" "We need to blow up the status quo in Washington to lower prices, fuel private sector job creation, and return to the American freedom that gave me and the generations before me the chance to succeed. That means doing three things. First, we must drastically reduce government spending to balance the federal budget. Shred the massive regulatory regime that has grown out of control in Washington. And third, we must make job creation the number one priority through tax cuts, smart investment and good economic policy." "The solution is simple, but it won't be easy. We could balance the budget tomorrow. We just need to have the courage to sit down with each other and figure out how-and not leave town until we do. We could cut the number of federal regulations in half by Christmas if we wanted to the exact same way. We just need to be willing to put in the hours and get the job done. Let's get to work." ###
