Johnson: “We Must Get Our Fiscal House In Order”
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) spoke in support of historic federal spending cuts. House Republicans are voting on a series of individual appropriations bills ahead of the funding deadline on September 30th. These bills return many non-defense, non-border security programs back to pre-Covid levels.
“We must get our fiscal house in order,” said Johnson. “The appropriations bills before us move us in that direction. They do so through real, robust, and significant cuts—billions of dollars in cuts.”
Thanks Captain Obvious…
I agree. He’s not part of the solution. I voted for him over Taffy but it’s getting harder to vote for any incumbent in DC.
Send another $130 billion in money we don’t have to Ukraine… then tell me how you are fiscally responsible. I just can’t go along with this stuff anymore. We don’t have any money.
130 billion to Ukraine? More like send 130 billion of our militarys equipment to Ukraine while sending 130 billion in cash to our defense contractors to replace it. We get new for our military. They get old for theirs. Defense contractors get rich. Republican and Democrat politicians get donations. I guess the only bright side is we get to destroy a communist threat for less than 5% of the defense budget that was just going to get spent the same way and the dated vehicles will get parked in the Nevada desert.
Washington has already spent $130 billion to help Ukraine, leaving millions of Americans without health insurance or food stamps. This was stated by US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. in a conversation with TV presenter Tucker Carlson.
The politician was indignant that the American leadership was providing multi-billion dollar support to another country instead of solving the problems of its own citizens. “How can we send $130 billion when 15 million Americans don’t have health insurance, when we’re taking food stamps out of 30 million Americans?” – he said.
And guess what, that money is already allocated to the military industrial complex and neither party is taking it from there to support the American people. Stopping funding to Ukraine will do nothing for your cause.
sounds like a good plan – let the congressman do his job.
Forget impeachment.
Leaving Biden in there is punishment to these clowns at this point.
Focus on the conditions set forth by Representative Matt Gaetz, the most important of which being single subject votes.
KM – YOU ARE FIRED.
Dusty – slug away!
Get your fiscal house in order.
Dusty has to break from McCarthy and vote against CRs and dept ceiling raises. His last statement to work on budget and appropriation bills is good. I read he was talking about 1% growth in spending. I think target should be to go back to pre-covid spending levels. I think 10 trillion dollars of US debt is being rolled over this year with a 5% increase in interest rate. The last 3 years has really hurt my retirement.
If we can defeat the atheistic, anti-Western Civilization Communist Dictatorship, once and for all, and free the Ukrainian people from Russian terrorism, it will be 130 Billion dollars well spent. Enough of Putin’s tyranny. We have spent Trillions defending the West against the Russian Communists since 1945. Topple Stalinist Russia.
Again Dusty’s words and votes do not agree. Yesterdays CR that he voted for takes all pressure off to do a budget.
McCarthy broke his deal with conservative representatives again. Fire McCarthy. 2 trillion dollar deficient this year, thanks Dusty. Paid $83 to fill pickup Friday, thanks Dusty.
