Ross Berry, a Tennessee state representative, posted a series of statements on November 10, 2025, critiquing recent political and economic developments. His tweets addressed issues including the government shutdown and COVID-era tax credits for insurance companies.
On November 10, Berry wrote: “Dems help end shutdown that Dems caused”. In another tweet later that day, he stated: “These are COVID era tax credits given to big insurance companies. There is a reason big business loves big govt. They profit, you suffer.” Shortly after, Berry added: “Because the elections are over.”
Berry’s remarks about COVID-era tax credits reference federal programs enacted during the pandemic to support businesses and individuals through economic hardship. These measures included significant aid packages that provided relief to various sectors, including large insurance companies. The relationship between government stimulus efforts and corporate beneficiaries has been an ongoing topic in U.S. policy discussions.
As a Republican legislator from Tennessee’s House District 26, Ross Berry has previously expressed skepticism toward large-scale government interventions and their effects on private enterprise.
