Why did they vote to send the same clowns that got us into the mess, back again? I'd love to know the answers.
What we need is conservative leadership in Congress. We someone from the Freedom Caucus to be Speaker.
As long as THEY get a piece of the money flowing around from all that fiat currency monetary policy, that is.
So sick of this RINO chit.
I will vote for the more conservative challenger to my RINO in the primary next month but I’m not holding my breath.
Human nautre. The voters in each district expect their representatives in congress, regardless of political party, to bring home as much bacon as possible. Let the other guys fight for conservative principles.
I think a lot of voters are afraid that the challenger might win the primary, but not the general. E
They figure the Rep in office has already proven he can beat the Dem challenger.
They are afraid to risk losing the seat altogether, especially if the challenger isn’t well funded.
Because everyone worries about spending until you start telling them what your going to cut. Then they run over and vote for the Dem.
Until Conservatives start accepting that you must advocate cutting EVERYTHING, including their sacred cows, you are never going to get voters to agree with you on cutting spending. It will always be “keep this spending I like, go cut that spending I don’t like” the result of which nothing gets cut as the “compromise”
Movement Conservative have been riding this hobby horse since the 1970s and voters simply don’t care.
Sad fact of the matter is that most voters like pork, and will continue voting for it. At least until the day the checks start bouncing.
Well, when you get less than 5% voter turnout, this is the kind of crap that keeps incumbents in office.

As long as people vote their pocketbooks, congress will try to stay in power by filling them from the treasury.
it is much harder for the Democrats to take a seat held by an incumbent.
That might have been what the voters were thinking.
Because most people pay as little attention to politics as possible; they are simply trying to pay their bills and provide for their families. They vote for the guy whom they met at a barbeque, or at least whose name is familiar.
I will send you my exorbitant bull, I mean, BILL.

Because MY Congressman is fine only YOUR congressman needs to go. People who know how to win elections are almost the only ones who get those jobs.
It's the voting that's the problem.
WHY they did it is crystal clear - free sh*t.
In 1978, the Jarvis-Gann-Stockman "starve the beast" hypothesis was at least credible - but none of them understood, having grown up with gold and silver money, that the potential for vote-buying with debt taht no one expected to pay back would turn out to be as big as it has.
Any Member of Congress who votes to cut spending - IF there is any chance that his vote will make a difference - is dead meat at the next election.
We need a break from the voting while adults sort out the money, the interest rates, the spending, and the taxation structure to support it.
NC Rep Pittenger (to a conservative pastor), and AL Rep Roby (to a former Democrat... this one is not official yet, but the runoff in July doesn't look good for Ms Roby).
