Beautiful Red Ink (Guest: Jim Renacci)

Big Spending, No Savings, and not a Single Deficit Fix in Sight

Jim Renacci, former U.S. Congressman who served on the House Ways & Means, Budget, and Finance committees. He’s a seasoned voice on fiscal responsibility, is available for interviews on the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” and why lawmakers must pump the brakes before locking in yet another massive, deficit-exploding spending deal. Renacci’s position mirrors that of Elon Musk, who recently said there is “no urgency” to pass the bill immediately. Musk is right—and Renacci can explain why this moment demands restraint, not recklessness.

Renacci warns that the biggest problem with this bill is the same thing that’s wrong with nearly every bill that passes Washington these days: it does nothing to change the long-term trajectory of America’s spending. It may be politically convenient to call it “historic,” “beautiful,” or “bipartisan,” but the truth is simple—this is just another bloated package with no path toward reducing the deficit.

He believes we won’t solve the debt crisis overnight, tomorrow, or even next year—but if we don’t begin steering the ship now, it’s going to crash. Renacci emphasizes that every politician talks about cutting spending until it’s their own program or special interest on the chopping block. That’s why these bills keep growing. Everyone wants fiscal responsibility in theory—but not when it affects their base.

He’s not opposed to smart investments or reforms but insists that this moment should be used to reevaluate priorities—not rubber stamp trillions more in spending with no structural reform. Like Musk, he believes rushing this bill would be a missed opportunity.

Renacci brings deep experience as a CPA, business owner, and policymaker. He speaks in plain terms the public can understand, and offers a unique mix of credibility, candor, and economic clarity. If you’re looking for a strong, fiscally focused voice who supports Musk’s call for caution, Jim Renacci is available to provide expert commentary.

ABOUT JIM RENACCI…

In 2010, Jim filed to run for U.S. Congress in Ohio’s 16th Congressional District, taking on a well-funded Democratic incumbent. Jim won the election by 9 percent.

While in Congress, Jim earned a reputation for being a principled conservative and effective legislator. He quickly rose through the ranks to serve on the Committee on Financial Services, as vice-chair of the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and as a member of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. After just two years, Jim was named to the powerful Ways and Means Committees and Budget Committees.

Not only did the blue-collar entrepreneur realize his own dream, but Jim also became the answer to countless Ohioans. As can only happen in America, the Ohioan entrepreneur soon laid claim to operate over 60 businesses, creating 1,500 new jobs, employing over 3,000 people statewide.

But politics had other plans. In 2009, the Obama Administration took over General Motors, shuttering dealerships across the country— including Jim’s in Northeast Ohio. Shutting down Jim’s dealership killed 50 good-paying jobs in his community — and Jim wasn’t going to stand by while neighbors were going hungry. How could Washington blatantly interfere in the everyday lives of hard-working Americans who wanted nothing more but their own chance at the American Dream?

Jim’s track record as a blue-collar entrepreneur demonstrates his only allegiance has ever been to the very people who D.C. bureaucrats forcibly unemployed that fateful day in an Ohio car dealership — the everyday Americans forgotten by the Swamp. He represents the people’s hopes and fears, bringing actionable results back to the working people who gave him a voice.
