Congressman Bill Johnson votes for this joke of a bill.
Raising taxes with no spending cuts. Un-freaking-believable! And I voted for this clown! Not again. I'm getting tired of the false choice of picking between the worst of two evils.
The problem is, they didn't even need his vote to pass this. He voted for it anyway! This tells me that he really thinks reducing our deficit can be done by increasing spending. Where do we get these geniuses?
I expected quasi counterfeiter Steve Stivers to support this, as he thinks we can clip our coins and save money when making money. An ancient and fraudulant money watering down scheme that he supports and leads. Typical big government republican thinking, BTW.
However, Bill Johnson sells himself as a "conservative". If this is being a conservative, I'd hate to see what a socialist looks like.
It's time to purge the republican party of these pretenders. If that doesn't happen, it's time to purge the republican party altogether.
This is from Johnson's own house website:
Jobs & The Economy
".....Our government is building
a national debt at a rate that we can’t afford – we’re leaving our
children and grandchildren with a bill for which they shouldn’t be
responsible. The first step is to balance the budget.....and hold spending in line in order to bring down the
national debt.
We must create wealth,
not distribute it. And we must reduce taxes. Today’s Federal tax code
penalizes the wealthy and incentivizes the poor to subsist on
entitlement programs. Reducing taxes at all levels of income will
stimulate the economy both from the top down (allowing more investment
in business and job creation) and from the bottom up (giving people more
purchasing power)."
It's not what he says that's important, it's what he does and how he votes that matters.
So he, like many other GOP members, talk tough in campaign mode, but when it comes to casting principled, tough votes, he caves. The tough talk quoted above, about reducing taxes, becomes a whimpering yes vote to raise taxes.
SICKENING!
