In West Pittston Machine Shop, the vice president of JD Vance praised President Donald Trump on Wednesday for re -developing the national economy in favor of American employees.
“We are dealing with a new administration, a new day and president who repairs what was wrong with the last administration,” said Vance inside Don’s Machine Shop.
The signs saying “America is a return” and “without taxes on tips” were the background for Vance, which spoke before the crowd of over 400 dotted with red hats “Make America Great” and other PRO-TRUMP equipment.
Vance has visited the Trump record so far and the recently adopted one great stunning Bill act. Among other things, ACT extends tax reductions in 2017 for people and companies, reduces taxes from guidance, overtime and social security benefits, and provides billions of dollars more for the security of borders.
“We promised that we intend to close the American southern border, relieve the flow of fentanyl and we will prioritize American employees over Mexican drug cartels,” he said. “This is a great achievement.”
No conversations about medicaid cuts
Vance, who spoke for almost 22 minutes, did not mention the more controversial elements of the bill – the expected cuts for Medicaid and Beasn Been benefit that democrats routinely move as harmful to human health and potentially destroying for rural hospitals.
Striving for the midfield
Vance’s visit, his first in the north -eastern Pennsylvania as a vice president, came when the White House began the sales campaign of the benefits of the law before the election in the middle of the period in 2026.
Rep. Rob Bresnahan8. A representative of the Congress District, which stands in the face of probably a tough re-election campaign in half against an unknown opponent next year, accompanied Vance from the international airport Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in place, but did not turn to the crowd.
. One great stunning bill handed over to four voices, which means Bresnahan’s voting in favor was critical. This was not lost on Vance.
“I’m going to shout Congressmen Bresnahan,” said Vance. “I think he is here. Congresmen, thank you very much for everything you did.”
Bresnahan and Vance later stayed briefly at the majestic lunch in the center of Pittston, where they were welcomed by the treasurer of Stacy Garrita and others. Garrita, a Republican, is expected to apply for the governor next year.
Bresnahan, Congresmen from the first term, was transferred to the office when Trump won the historic second term, who said that Vance provided promises.
Advertising of growing wages
The vice president said that wages have been growing faster than 60 years, and inflation is under control.
“This testifies to the great presidential leadership and the great American nation. And we are just starting my friends,” said Vance.
Inflation reached the highest level of 9.1% in June 2022 on the basis of President Joe Biden, fell to 3% to January, the month left the office, fell to 2.4 %% in May, but in June it marked to 2.7% to 2.7%. Federal Office of Labor Statistics.
Vance promotes Trump tariffs
Analysts blame the early effects of Trump’s tariffs for the uprising last month, but Vance took the tariffs.
He said that for years the American government “awarded people who sent American jobs abroad and punished large small companies that invested here in America.”
“I (z) by the leadership of President Trump, we turn it over his head,” he said. “If you build here, if you do here, if you work in the United States of America, we just gave you a great greasy tax relief. But if you are going to send American jobs abroad thanks to Donald Trump, you will pay a large tariff. Time to invest in your own country and our people, and we do it.”
Vice President of the Democrats card
He blew up the Democrats for voting against the act, which reduced taxes and prevented gigantic tax increases.
“Their large attack line is that Donald Trump dare to put tariffs to foreign countries that try to introduce their nonsense to the United States of America,” he said. “This is interesting for me, because democrats seem to like everything that increases taxes.”
On tax breaks
He praised the act on the end of tax breaks of electric vehicles and rewarding oil and gas companies for expanding the search for both.
“After four years of broken energy policy, we will finally drill, practice and invest in American energy workers,” said Vance. “And I know that you all love it. And the matter of the drill, drill for children, it is not just about energy workers, if we love them. It is about consumers who pay less for gas and energy than for four years.”
The average price of gasoline gallon throughout the country was 3.13 USD just before Trump took office and amounted to USD 3.22 last week, according to AAA. Aaa said that the price last week was 27% cheaper than at the same time last summer.
Reduction of taxes from tip and overtime
Vance said that the act “releases a new era of growth and prosperity for every American.”
“This account is rocket fuel for small companies. They need it. They deserve it. I talked to waitresses, which are excited about taking more changes without a tax on tips,” he said how some in the crowd cheered. “I know what it means, mechanics and welders who are no longer punished by taxes for overtime work.”
Pursuant to the Act, up to $ 25,000 can be deducted from income at the time of tax declarations and up to USD 12,500, according to Service website Revenue website. The Act does not eliminate taxes on guidance or overtime.
Vance also advertised an account order in the amount of $ 1000 per newborn baby, another recipe that, as the Democrats said, ignored.
“If we were able to share $ 1,000, not newborn American children, but illegal aliens, I think we could receive the voices of Democrats,” he said.
Bresnahan weighs
Then Bresnahan’s office issued a statement On his behalf he praised tax reductions.
“West Pittston is full of small businesses, driven employees and workers’ families,” said Bresnahan. “These tax reductions return more money to their pockets. I want to thank Vice President Vance for visiting West Pittston today to emphasize our community as a proud example of who can take advantage of the reductions of working class taxes that we introduced. In cities such as West Pittston, this tax relief makes a real difference.”
Democrats shoot
In Eli Cousin’s statement, a spokesman for the Democratic Congress Campaign Committee, Bresnahan torn out for breaking the promise that he would “not reject Medicaid, but instead (ING) the decisive vote for the greatest medicaid cuts in history.”
“Now JD Vance – who soullessly called historical cuts for Medicaid” minute “and” ethereal ” – flows down the parachute to the Bresnahan district in a desperate attempt to try once again lies in the north -eastern part of Pennsylvania about the destructive effects of this tax fraud on family families,” said Cousin.
