⚠️ The first decision by @HouseGOP when they learned they had won a slim majority of 222 to 213 was to bring back earmarks. These are bridges to nowhere, peanut subsidies, and sports arenas for local professional teams paid for by federal taxpayers. #ampFWampfw.org/3PyxPqg
⚠️ PREPOSTEROUS: "The size of this year's $1.7 trillion "omnibus" spending bill for fiscal 2023 #Christmas-wraps hundreds upon hundreds of billions of congressional spending in one giant gift box to special interests." #ampFW via @StephenMoore@dcexaminerampfw.org/3PyxPqg
⚠️ "The current omnibus seems to be asexually reproducing as the size of the monster keeps getting bigger and bigger. Are #Republicans really going to sign on to this "bipartisan" fiscal disaster?" @StephenMoore#ampFWampfw.org/3PyxPqg
⚠️ BREAKING: "Lame-duck spending legislation may wind up spending more than the Biden administration's inflationary American Rescue Plan, which cost $1.9 trillion (one of the most expensive budgets in American history)." @StephenMoore#ampFWampfw.org/3PyxPqg
⚠️ #Republicans are agreeing to the fire hose of federal spending as a "retirement gift" to @SenShelby ($600M for the state of Alabama).
⚠️ "We have here what might be the most expensive "going away" present in American history."
⚠️ "#Biden has spent at a more financially ruinous pace than any president in modern times. But even with #COVID-19 long over, Congress isn't pulling back. The new pandemic in America is runaway spending debt." @StephenMoore#ampFW via @dcexaminerampfw.org/3PyxPqg
☠️ Dem Attacks on Musk Prove Their Support for Free Speech Is Dead: "Elon’s commitment to core American values is quickly turning into a nightmare for Democrats." #TwitterFiles#ampFWampfw.org/3G1lnwc
💯 "Free speech is messy, and a public exchange of opinions is often upsetting. But that is OK. Groupthink needs to be challenged. It’s a core tenant of reason." #Facts#TwitterFiles#ampFWampfw.org/3PCt8vw
🚨 "The fact that San Francisco is openly targeting Musk shows how far the city’s government is willing to go to quash their political opposition under Democrat Mayor London Breed." #TwitterFiles#ampFWampfw.org/3PCt8vw
👀 Economic Growth Is All About Falling Prices: "The basis of the nailbiting within the economics profession has to do with their wholly confused belief that consumption powers economic growth." @johntamny#ampFWampfw.org/3PB8sEr
"Real economic growth is born of savings, investment (the latter relentlessly pushes down prices).
⚠️ "To economists, the economy is a literal engine that needs to be constantly tweaked. Reporters have bought into the falsehood. Apparently 2% is what keeps prices in check, but also keeps buyers in stores." @johntamny#ampFW@Forbesampfw.org/3V9MhpO
⚠️ "If we don't get spending under control we're going to be looking at higher interest rates that's going to hurt our housing market b/c mortgage rates will go up. It's going to hurt consumers, small businesses as they try to borrow." @StephenMoore#ampFWampfw.org/3YvhLcX
⚠️ "We've got to get out of this cycle of spend, print money and then raise interest rates or else we're going to be facing a very precarious future. Rates are going up because we let inflation get out of control through this massive govt spending." #ampFWampfw.org/3YvhLcX
"The widespread use of digital assets would allow consumers to transfer money near-instantaneously rather than rely on a series of intermediaries to conduct a single transaction." -@kilianlaverty via @thehill#ampFWampfw.org/3LlQZOf
"A CBDC is a profoundly dangerous tool that threatens consumer privacy and security as well as the continued innovation of the digital asset market." -@kilianlaverty#ampFWampfw.org/3LlQZOf
🚨HAPPENING NOW: @freedomcaucus holds a press conference to discuss the importance of passing a continuing resolution that DOES NOT expire before January.
Republicans must do what is necessary to ensure that Dems DONT pass a massive, pork-filled bill before January. Tell your Rep to take action NOW & to sign @RepChipRoy’s Appropriations Pledge! #ampFW
