Spending Cuts and Debt

Hopefully It Fails

| Posted in Blog

It was only a week ago that Nancy Pelosi managed to twist enough arms to pass a massive $1.2 trillion spending bill. That legislation had a small amount of appropriate infrastructure spending, but a TON of unnecessary waste and government overreach. It should have never passed the House, but thirteen Republicans – approx. 6% of total Republicans in the House – helped Democrats push it…

“Ralph, what are you doing to stop all this?”

I voted NO last night, just like I promised. For those who are interested, here’s a quick & simple summary of what happened yesterday in the House of Representatives on the two massive tax & spend proposals.   Remember we’re talking about two separate bills. Bill #1 has been dubbed the “infrastructure bill.” It has over $1 trillion that deals with infrastructure…

Add One More No Vote to My Growing Tally

| Posted in Blog

There was a lady sitting towards the back of the room at my town hall a couple months ago in York County. She appeared rather upset over the number of bills I’d voted against in Congress… ever since Democrats took control of the House. In fact, she seemed to know the exact number! You know, as if my purpose in Congress should be to rubber stamp the Democrats’ socialist agenda. Clearly to…

You Shouldn’t Be Surprised at This

$450,000 – this is how much the Biden Administration wants to pay some noncitizens from other countries… who broke our immigration laws and now are suing us – the American taxpayers – over the way they were treated in the process. The Wall Street Journal broke this news last week. I’d say it’s unbelievable, but it’s not. This is a president who stopped construction of our border wall,…

Washington Storm

Let’s talk details. This is a long post, I know, but it’s important for everyone to understand just how bad the Democrats’ massive tax & spend package is going to be. Remember, this bill isn’t even finalized yet. I’ve linked to their initial version below. As of now, this is a 2,465-page monster that will expand cradle-to-grave government dependence, make inflation worse, and put our…

More Bad News on Inflation

| Posted in Blog

More bad news today on the inflation front. Consumer prices jumped 0.4% last month, according to the Labor Department. Over the last year, prices have risen 5.4%. Let’s put that in perspective… Food prices alone have jumped 4.6% in the last 12 months. Certainly you’ve seen that reflected in restaurant prices or at the grocery store. (If not in higher prices, then definitely in…

They Own It

I flew up to Washington earlier today in order to vote NO this evening on raising the debt limit. I'm done with spending RECKLESS amounts of money. I'm done with raising the ceiling each time the federal government reaches its borrowing limit. I'm done with the complacency on government waste, and this SICK mentality that it's somehow okay to kneecap our future generations with debt…

On This Point, Bernie Sanders Is Spot On

| Posted in Blog

I disagree with just about every word that comes out of Bernie Sanders' mouth. But on this comment he made just a few minutes ago, the socialist Senator from Vermont is spot on: "It is an absurd way to do business," he said, "to be negotiating a multitrillion dollar bill a few minutes before a major vote with virtually nobody knowing what's going on. That's unacceptable." In this late…

One Chaotic Week in Congress

| Posted in Blog

I think Democrats have all but conceded catastrophic losses in the 2022 midterm elections. That would certainly explain why they’re determined to remake as much of the country as they can, while they still have control of Congress and the White House. That brings us to two massive spending bills on the table this week: Bill #1 is a $1 trillion package that deals (to some extent) with…

Efforts to Raise the Federal Debt Ceiling

| Posted in Blog

The House is (finally) back in session this week. Earlier this month, I said September was going to be a mess in Congress. And so it begins… For now at least, let’s ignore the overwhelming surge of illegal immigrants since Biden took office. Let’s ignore his numerous catastrophic failures in Afghanistan. Let’s ignore rising inflation, and a host of other problems. Just set all those…
