House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended raising taxes on America’s wealthiest citizens in order to fund President Joe Biden’s “American Families Plan” and said Republicans raised the national debt during the Trump administration.
“Again, what he’s [Biden] talking about is exactly just to reverse some of what the Republicans did in their tax scam where they added almost $2 trillion to the national debt if you include the cost and the interest on the debt to give tax breaks to the top, top, top wealthiest people in our country,” Pelosi said on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.” Biden is scheduled to announce the “American Families Plan” on Wednesday during a joint congressional session address, marking the third major spending proposal since becoming president.
