Op-Ed: Former Governor and Presidential Candidate John Kasich Warns How the “Big, Beautiful Bill” Delays Desperately Needed Reforms

Former Ohio Governor John Kasich, who previously served in Congress for 18 years and chaired the House Budget Committee when the most recent balanced budget was passed, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning to discuss why President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is delaying desperately needed reform efforts.

Kasich warned that while the bill may be politically expedient, it pushes aside the tough but necessary reforms our country can no longer afford to ignore, especially when it comes to the growing national debt.

“We are racing toward the edge of a cliff,” Kasich said. “The national debt keeps rising, and there’s no serious appetite in Washington for fundamentally reforming the federal government like we did when I was budget chair and governor of Ohio.”

Kasich also criticized Republicans for failing to clearly articulate the purpose of the bill, saying that if you want to build support for significant action, you have to explain why it matters – not just what’s in it.
