Have you ever looked at a recurring charge on your credit card statement and thought, “I’m not using this anymore; it’s time to cancel.” Or have you ever received a renewal invoice in the mail for a service you no longer use? It usually ends up in the trash, right?
Most of us don’t continue to pay for things we no longer need. However, that mentality is nowhere to be found… Read more »
REPORT: “President Biden recently held an undisclosed East Room session with historians that included discussion of how big is too big — and how fast is too fast — to jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America.”
This was the leading paragraph of a news article this morning predicting what’s to come. Naturally the question is, what other “historic changes” could they have… Read more »
I introduced new legislation yesterday that will help shed some more light on where your tax dollars are spent. It’s called the COST Act, which stands for “Cost Openness and Spending Transparency.” This bill will force the public disclosure of how federal dollars are distributed. Here’s how it works:
As we all know, the federal government relies on hundreds of companies,… Read more »
Earlier today, Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) introduced the Cost Openness and Spending Transparency (COST) Act. This legislation will require public disclosure of the total cost to taxpayers for every project supported with federal funds. A companion is expected to be introduced in the Senate by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA).
The federal government utilizes hundreds of companies, non-profit… Read more »
Tax hikes are looming. Not with my vote, of course, but I’m only one vote in Congress, and right now I’m in the minority.
Our government spends significantly more money than it takes in. Except for me and a fair number of other Republicans in Congress, there’s simply no appetite in Washington to reduce spending like we need to.
This means additional spending for things like this… Read more »
Here’s what to expect from the Democrat-controlled Congress, the mainstream media, and your social media newsfeeds over the next several weeks. But first, some reminders:
Remember Democrats are about to bulldoze through another $1.9 trillion in spending they claim is for coronavirus relief.
Remember this $1.9 trillion is actually packed with inexcusably bad… Read more »
This week, the House is considering yet another coronavirus spending bill. This will be in addition to the $4 TRILLION that’s already been allocated. Never mind that more than a trillion of that hasn’t even been spent yet – Democrats want to add another $1.9 trillion to the tab.
Remember all this coronavirus money is borrowed from our children – we don’t have this sitting… Read more »
It looks like Democrats want to bring back earmarks. Does everyone remember those?
Let’s back up just a minute and talk about “appropriations” in Congress, which is the process of allocating your tax dollars to specific government functions. The Constitution places this responsibility directly on Congress. Every year in the House, we’re supposed to craft 12 appropriations bills – each… Read more »
No surprises here. Let’s run through some of President Biden’s executive orders during his first week in office. These are campaign promises he’s making good on – we knew they’d be coming.
PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT: It’s basically a sham. There’s no objective standard – each country gets to define what it wants to do. Countries can lie six ways from Sunday about whether they’re… Read more »
You just cannot defend what happened last night in Congress. Yesterday we were literally emailed a 5,600-page PDF that contained one of the largest spending bills in our history – over $2.3 trillion. And NOT ONE Member of Congress had time read it before a vote was called just a few short hours later.
This entire thing was negotiated behind closed doors. No hearings. No… Read more »
