Negotiation for Fiscal Discipline in the Swamp

| Posted in Blog

After last night’s budget vote, we made some progress. Yes, we’re moving up Medicaid work requirements. Yes, we’re putting an end to the Green New Scam subsidies.  There are several bites at the apple, but more to be done.

Opening Remarks at House Budget Committee Markup

Democrats will forever fight to rely on government as their savior. Republicans shouldn’t continue to fund their radical agenda, giving handouts to illegals who don’t pay taxes. Why rush the process when we should be working overtime to get it right? The payment stops now!! Democrats will forever fight to rely on government as their savior. Republicans shouldn’t continue to fund their…

That’s not just fraud, that’s a betrayal of every honest taxpayer…

SNAP Fraud Cases Are on the Rise

| Posted in Blog

Recently, my office has received a flood of questions regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), especially after reports that a woman from South Carolina is accused of stealing $23,000 in SNAP benefits. That’s not pocket change. SNAP is an important program, as nearly 580,000 South Carolinians depend on these benefits to provide food for their families. When it…
