DC is controlled by special interests groups and lobbyists who have an inflated grip on our politicians.
When major votes like the CR come up, Members are flooded with calls from lobbyists telling them the world will end if they don’t vote to continue funding “X” initiative.
That broken system has led us to over $33 trillion in national debt and there’s no end in sight until we put an end to Washington’s spending addiction fueled by special interest groups.
