Washington Democrats passed another irresponsible, short-term funding bill because they can’t seem to get their priorities straight.
Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) spoke to Newsmax to shine a light on this fiscal malpractice. In case you missed it, here are the highlights:
ON “RIGGED” SPENDING
“All this money going to the different Senators' ‘pet projects’ and you got the two primary authors of this bill, they’re not gonna be responsible, they’re gonna be gone.
“We are gonna be left holding the bag, we the citizens of America, the taxpayers.”
ON THE RUSHED, WASTEFUL SPENDING PACKAGE
“The will of the people, which is a Republican majority, that should be honored.
“This is no way to run a railroad, this is ridiculous.
“This is not our fault, this is the Democrats' fault. They’re the ones who waited ‘til the end of the year to get serious about the budget.”
ON MAKING CHANGES IN THE BUDGET PROCESS
“There’s gonna be a new sheriff in town, we have got to get back to regular order.
“We have to get back to fiscal responsibility, we have to get back to balancing our budget.
“This is intergenerational theft, this is a mugging of the taxpayer. It has got to stop. We’ve got to practice fiscal responsibility.”
ON ACCOUNTABILITY IN GOVERNMENT
“I’ve got legislation that says the Executive Branch will be defunded until [the President] gets his budget presented. I’m all for no budget no pay. Let’s hold our feet to the fire.”
