Part 5/6:
Legislative Challenges
While supporting the agenda, Cruz cautioned about the messy nature of legislative processes. He acknowledged the complexities that often arise during negotiations, famously likening the making of legislation to the making of sausage—a process that isn't aesthetically pleasing but necessary for achieving substantive outcomes.
He indicated a belief that the House might present more challenges than the Senate in terms of fiscal conservatism. With Republicans holding a majority in the Senate, Cruz hopes that the Senate would strengthen and refine the bill, pushing for more ambitious fiscal policies that would not only survive but thrive under Trump's leadership and vision.
