I would like to remind Republicans that they were sent to Washington to shrink the size of government and reduce spending. If they choose not to do that, I will gladly vote to replace them with people who will. On Wednesday night, a $1.3 trillion budget plan was introduced. The proposal does not include many of the things the Republicans that were sent to Congress promised–there is funding for Planned Parenthood<\/a>, funding for Sanctuary cities, and there is very limited funding for a border wall. The bill also does not include any remedy for the DACA children, which is something the Democrats said they wanted (I don’t think they wanted a solution–I think they wanted the issue). It is a bad bill. Not only is it a bad bill–it was introduced in a manner that does not allow anyone to analyze it properly.<\/p>\n

In an article posted yesterday Breitbart<\/a> points out:<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell<\/a> (R-KY) and Senate Minority Leader<\/a> Chuck Schumer<\/a> (D-NY) struck a deal in February to increase domestic and military spending by nearly $300 billion over the next two years. The bill includes an additional $90 billion in disaster aid for states and localities affected by last year\u2019s hurricanes and $140 billion for emergency military funds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Pye, vice president of legislative affairs for FreedomWorks<\/a>, said<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cRepublicans don\u2019t know how to stop spending money.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rep. Mo Brooks<\/a> (R-AL), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus<\/a>, told <\/a>Breitbart News<\/a> in an exclusive interview that our national debt has skyrocketed in recent years to untenable levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, we\u2019re looking at a deficit of $750 to $1 trillion.\u00a0Next year, the estimate is $1 trillion or more.\u00a0I have to wonder if there is any way that we can avoid a national insolvency or bankruptcy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) lamented<\/a> in an interview with Breitbart News Daily\u00a0<\/em>on Tuesday that the\u00a0\u201cSenate Democrats seem to be calling most of the shots.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A report on Monday suggested<\/a> that the omnibus spending bill will not include a bailout of Obamacare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), another member of the House Freedom Caucus, suggested that a number of liberal policies will be included in the omnibus, without any substantial border wall funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jordan said, \u201cPlanned Parenthood, Gateway Bridge<\/a>, Planned Parenthood, trillion dollar deficit, and no wall.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a bad bill, and Congress should be forced to go back to the drawing board and cut spending. I don’t care if the government shuts down–they need to get it right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
