THREAD on #DebtCeiling. The @HouseGOP passed #HR2811 - the Limit, Save, Grow Act - that raises the debt ceiling $1.5 Trillion or until 3/31/24, for sensible, purposeful non-political reforms. Those reforms should NOT be abandoned - because they matter… (1/10)
…Purposeful reform #1: Cut the federal bureaucracy to pre-COVID levels by limiting total discretionary 2024 spending to 2022 levels ($1.471 TR) -which constrains woke bureaucrats to help spur growth & freedom, & re-sets spending to save $131BB now, & 3.5TR over 10 years… (2/10)
…Purposeful reform #2: Cut the so-called “inflation reduction act” tax credit give-aways to rich, white, elites (90%+ corp subsidies go to $1BB+ corps, 80% of EV go to $100K+ people) to save $1.2 TR, keep reliable power, & end increases to the cost of gas/electricity… (3/10)
…Purposeful reform #3: Implement the REINS Act to end the abuse of executive power to pass regulations that cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars, by requiring Congressional approval for significant regulations… (4/10)
…Purposeful reform #4: End the expensive, deficit increasing, & tuition increasing $550BB student loan bailout that picks winners & losers… forcing a hard-working plumber or a patriotic veteran… to subsidize the privileged, some gender studies student’s Masters Degree… (5/10)
…Purposeful reform #5: End the $80BB IRS expansion that will target the poor & minority 3-5X more than non-poor & minority taxpayers… in other words ANOTHER policy that hurts hard-working families while the elite/privileged just hire a lawyer… (6/10)
…Purposeful reform #7: Enforcing work requirements for able bodies Americans - mirroring the bipartisan reforms signed by President Clinton and supported by then Senator Joe Biden… and widely supported by Americans to spur economic growth & reduce welfare… (7/10)
…Purposeful reform #8: Reclaim $50BB + in unobligated, unspent COVID money after literally trillions dumped into the economy causing massive inflation and paying people not to work… (8/10)
…These reforms help the middle class & hard-working American families rather than the Dem agenda of supporting privileged, elites, & corporate crony financiers of a radical agenda… (9/10
…The @HouseGOP bill is the standard & should be fought for. @JoeBiden is in Japan. @SenateDems are on recess. We did our job. Our bill IS the deal. Dems want longer extension? Add #HR2 to secure the border. #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica #HoldTheLine #DebtCeiling (10/10) /End Thread

THREAD: Things @JoeBiden wants to hide by fear-mongering that the @HouseGOP debt-ceiling plan to #LimitSaveGrow will “cut” veteran benefits & meals on wheels… A) the only ones talking about cutting veterans are Joe Biden & Democrats - we simple set a total spending cap… (1/9)
…and B) we capped it at $1.471 trillion, the TOTAL spending number we were using literally less than 5 months ago, which allows Congress to choose how to spend it! e.g. if we keep defense at current level, we can fund the the remaining bureaucracy at pre-COVID levels… (2/9)
… and/or allows C) the same amount as that MAGA extremist Barack Obama’s last budget level for this year! Moreover, D) @joebien doesn’t want you to focus on all the ridiculous waste and woke / weaponized spending we could cut… (3/9)

The @HouseGOP is working to save America from the double-barreled disaster of stagflation while Dems fiddle. We offer to do what we said - spending reforms, not a blind increase of Govt borrowing. What’s possible? THREAD: (1/7) #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica
wsj.com/articles/kevin…
1st, we return discretionary spending to 2022 levels (i.e. what we were spending 4 mos ago) to fund defense at 2023 levels (beat China) & simply cut weaponized bureaucracy to pre-COVID 2019 levels, which is exactly 2024 levels in Obama’s last budget! (2/7) #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica
2nd, we save around $500BB in CURRENT $ by reclaiming COVID emergency spending - some $70+ billion of unobligated COVID money & the $400+ Billion in the unfair transfer of bloated student loan payments to the working class… #ShrinkDCGrowAmerica (3/7)

Ron DeSantis for President of the United States #NeverBackDown #DeSantis2024
The next President of the United States must be a vibrant and energetic leader with the faith, vision, and courage to chart a new course.   America needs a leader who will truly defend her and empower the people against the destructive force of unrestrained government and..
corporate excess, profligate spending, and woke cultural indoctrination.

That leader is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

BORDER THREAD: A) Title 42 is NOT border policy & should not be treated as such. Too many GOP use it as cover for weak border efforts when we should not perpetuate the myth of on-going pandemic (see, e.g., student loans); B) We can & should fix the border w/ #HR7772… (1/6)
… the principles laid out in the #TxBorderPlan & we must do these things precisely b/c Title 42 is not an actual fix but a bandaid; C) Now, of course Title 42 can be aggressively used for duration of ANY concurrent federal “pandemic” mandates being used against citizens… (2/6)
…& federal policy makers can debate that, & we should; D) But, ACLU leftists went to District Court to compel the feds to end Title 42 & the court agreed, E) states said - hold up, we get a say if the district court is going to make policy… (3/6)

THREAD: 21 Senators voted to proceed to the $1.7 trillion omnibus - & to spend billions we do not have, empower Biden bureaucrats with no fixes, & block us from securing the border for at least 9 mos. Some are friends, one my former boss.. but unless… (1/13) #StandUpForAmerica
…they change their vote on final passage, I don’t care & will oppose their bills/priorities - & not for revenge, but b/c it’s the only tool I have to pressure them to stop doing this to us. This vote is indefensible, & damaging to Texas. It takes away our leverage to… (2/13)
…force Biden to secure the border & in fact specifically says new DHS money can only be used to process MORE people - which will lead to more fentanyl, violence, & death. For Texans, this alone is reason enough to oppose this terrible bill (cc: @JohnCornyn)… (3/13)

To “Make the Economy Strong,” we must COMMIT to 1) balance the budget in 10 yrs & appropriate to it (stop spending $ we don’t have); 2) unapologetically expand reliable nuclear & gas energy by opening federal lands & permitting… (1/13) #StandUpForAmerica #CommitmentToAmerica
To “Make the Economy Strong,” we must COMMIT to… 3) end subsidies distorting toward unreliable energy; 4) use federal investment power & SEC regulatory power to end the anti-free enterprise woke “ESG” constraint on capital. (2/13) #StandUpForAmerica #CommitmentToAmerica
To “Make the Nation Safe,” we must COMMIT to secure our border NOW by 1) using the purse power to require turn away or full detention, no exceptions, 2) tightening asylum & eliminating loopholes, & 3) building the wall / roads… (3/13) #StandUpForAmerica #CommitmentToAmerica
