In another post on the same day at 19:40 UTC, Rep. Escobar expressed her views on economic policies by criticizing Republican approaches to spending and tax cuts. She questioned how Republicans could advocate for lower spending while supporting tax cuts that have increased the deficit.

The ideas of trickle down economics or that tax cuts for billionaires 'pay for themselves' are purposeful lies."
