Reaction & Commentary
Dollars to get absolutely nothing in return but at best if I’m being really generous a spending freeze for a couple of years that’s it that’s about what you get and frankly you’re going to make things worse in my Democratic colleagues know it that’s why they’re supporting it that’s why they’re going around gleeful
Look there’s a reason our Democrat colleagues support this there’s a reason that Mitt Romney supports this there’s a reason that bill Crystal supports this it’s all the same stuff there’s a reason that our conservative allies are opposing it roundly the Club for Growth scoring against it the Heritage Foundation scoring against it
Freedomworks scoring against it Rhonda sanus publicly opposed president Trump said he thought we should default rather than pursue this kind of lunacy at the end of the day the only person that would default in this town is Joe Biden unless Republicans default on the American dream by voting for this bad
Bill that is why this group will oppose it we will continue to fight it today tomorrow and no matter what happens there’s going to be a reckoning about what just occurred unless we stop this bill by tomorrow the American people are struggling with high gas prices groceries and other monthly expenses
That were fueled by Democrat federal spending sprees that cause record inflation that we are still fighting today the bill passed by House Republicans provided a modest 1.5 trillion dollar increase to the debt ceiling in exchange for enacting pro policies and real spending cuts our bill saved taxpayers 4.8 trillion dollars and
Included real reforms we had substantive policy included in the limit save Grove Bill we had a real opportunity to significantly cut federal spending restore some fiscal sanity to Washington D.C and get our economy back on track unfortunately the bill we are considering tomorrow does none of these things and is more
Washington gimmicks from the swamp that kicks the proverbial can down the road tomorrow’s Bill hands Biden a blank check as it doesn’t actually set a debt limit this is an unlimited debt increase allowing him to spend as much money as he wants through the end of his term
Tomorrow’s Bill fails to return federal spending to pre-print coveted pandemic levels and instead normalizes federal spending at the six trillion dollar level as opposed to the previous four trillion dollar level that is two trillion dollars more that we will likely spend each year because of this disastrous anti-deal tomorrow’s Bill allegedly Cuts 41
Billion dollars I think it’s more like 12. which is essentially nothing as it’s estimated savings from the bill from unspent covid funds these so-called pay-as-you-go wins and the bill are fake it allows the OMB director to ignore this mandate whenever she deems necessary to do so this administrative pay go isn’t as
Lovely as it sounds as this Administration can waive that whenever they’d like Republicans said we’re going to defund Biden’s new Army of IRS agents yet this bill prohibits only 1.4 billion dollars of that 80 billion dollars So at the end of 10 years okay the IRS has 1.4
Billion dollars left to spend they can still spend the rest of that money however they so choose to attack the American taxpayer middle class taxpayers that the IRS will be weaponized against and shockingly in tomorrow’s Bill there are no actually actual budget caps required after 2025 only non-enforceable Appropriations targets cbo’s estimate of
2.1 trillion dollars uh in cuts that everyone is touting will never materialize because there is nothing real in this bill to enforce in short tomorrow’s bill is a bunch of fake news and fake talking points that will do nothing to rein an out-of-control federal spending if every Republican voted the way that
They campaigned they would vote against tomorrow’s bad deal because this is the very thing that we all campaigned to put an end to Washington is doing it again while you were celebrating Memorial Day all of our men and women who gave their lives for this great nation and you were
Spending time with your family and your friends this town was cutting another crap deal that’s going to put you more in debt with no real changes whatsoever so the American people need to understand full and well do not listen to the talking points do not listening to the cool phrases that are being
Thrown out in commercials on CNN or fox or MSNBC because Washington is lying again this bill has no cap in raising the debt just a date in the future we have no idea what that number is going to look like some people are saying 4 trillion some people are saying 3.5 trillion this
Bill in year one might cut 12 billion dollars if you just want to be generous so who here thinks it’s cool to cut 12 billion dollars in exchange for four trillion dollars I don’t think that’s cool at all this bill actually keeps the Biden Baseline intact for the federal
Agencies the republicans in Congress have been saying for months that we need to get back to pre-covered spending levels this bill canonizes post covet spending levels brought To Us by Joe Biden and the Democrats this bill keeps all of Joe Biden’s policy all of Joe Biden’s spending intact this bill does
Nothing for the green New Deal subsidies that are going to our electric grid so when Americans are trying to figure out that they went and bought this electric car that they were subsidized to buy but when they plug it in there’s not enough electricity on the grid that is because Washington
Subsidized all these Green New Deal projects and nobody stood up to it except for people standing behind me right now to my Republican colleagues do not vote for this bill I’m telling you right now your voters back home are going to look at you and
Say why did you vote for a bill that keeps all of Joe Biden’s policy in place and all you did was raise the debt ceiling they’re going to tell you why did you not stand up and demand that they go back to the table and re-negotiate this deal these negotiations happened listen in
Negotiations you go through it you figure out what comes out the other side but now it’s time for the Republican members of Congress to weigh in on these negotiations that is why I am a no that is why the men and women behind me are knows that is why more and more
Republicans as they read this bill they are knows and I will add this last thing it’s funny that the White House’s talking points are very cheery that the White House is telling Democrats have crocodile tears but vote for the bill it’s funny that you have a hundred Democrats who are now green lighting
They will vote for this bill you know why they’re going to do that because none of their policy is changed and they get to keep all of their spending and last but not least if we were going to do something constructive for the country if Joe Biden didn’t want to get
Rid of his crazy Green New Deal spending the least we could have done is secure the southern border and we didn’t do that either so my Republican colleagues vote no vote no and do the right thing and let’s go find a better deal
