House majority leader web site ^

Posted on 10/31/2018 5:05:08 PM PDT by backpacker_c

Kevin Mccarthy has had a pac running radio ads all across the country promoting him, and his 'build the wall' legislation, however, it appears that he is trying to deceive people with what it actual does.

All across the country, people are hearing radio ads sponsored by the 'state tea party', praising Kevin Mccarthy's support of Trump's agenda, and Mccarthy's 'build the wall' legislation.

Apparently, Mccarthy is trying to create good p.r. for his run for speaker of the house, but his 'build the wall' legislation is not what it is touted as. If people read the actual bill, you see that Mccarthy is trying to con everyone with what the bill actually says.

From the house web site pagemajorityleader build the wall law he states that the bill 'fully funds the Wall by appropriating the full amount requested by President Trump for its construction, bringing the total amount of funding to $25 billion'. but it doesn't.

Starting on page 41, we see it allocates $23,400,000,000 for expenditures, with $16.6 billion for a border wall system - physical barrier, technology and roads, and $6.8 billion for security technology and border patrol facilities and ports of entry - not restricted to the southern border.

That $16.6 billion is a far cry from 'fully funding' the wall Mccarthy's description says. But, it gets worse, as on the bottom of page 42, you see that it allocates that $16.6 billion as $5.5 billion in 2018, then increaments of $1.7-2 billion over the next 6 year!

Why spread this amount over so many years? Well, for one thing, on page 46, it's noted that the funding is all discretionary, which means that it needs to be funded each year, and could be withheld......

So, please read the bill, and don't be fooled into supporting such a farce. Also, we don't need mccarthy to become a ryan lite, as the speaker of the house....

Well...what do you do?

Vote for the lying RINO’s promising a wall that will never show up?

Or vote for the lying DEMS who WILL invite another 100 million aliens from Africa, Muslim and Latin American Nations?

Wasn’t McCarthy a ‘never Trumper’ in 2016?

McCarthy’s a scamming RINO.

Ryan is gone, he wants to be speaker.

Everything he does is for expediency.

McCarthy is part of the same GOP House leadership team that included Boehner, Ryan and Cantor.
They plotted to pass Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill the day after Eric Cantor’s primary, using Democrat votes.
The only reason we still have a country is because we Cantorized that weasel Eric Cantor before he could betray US.

(Mike Pence was part of this cabal of Bush League Republicans when he was in the House)

I hear this commercial at least ten times a day and I think how could anyone think that this former “never Trump” person will really help President Trump build the wall!?

I do hope and pray for Jim Jordan and that he is elected Speaker!

replying to several posters:

Ryan, Cantor and Mccarthy were considered the the golden boys, and the conservative new young guns of the republican party. But, once they got in, they all become part of the deep swamp.

While Mccarthy has criticized Trump, and accused Trump of various things, it appears that he actually supported Trump in the election.

When I heard the radio ads for Mccarthy in my area, I was wondering who and why were they being played, when Mccarthy is a representative for California. As it turns out, I had an argument with someone over the bill from another state, because didn't realize Mccarthy wasn't one of his state's representative from all the ads he was hearing in his state!. So these ads appear to be funded by a pac, and they use a deceptive name, by calling themselves the 'state tea party'.

I don't like to be fooled by such shady legislation, and I hope all of you read the bill, become aware of what it contains, and spread the word not to trust it.

I had hopes that his leadership shackles were loosened, with Ryan gone, but it appears not so.

McCarthy is the House GOP Leader. He’s a sleazeball. If he really wanted the wall, we would have had it by now.

Someones got the pics or they have wads of money in their pockets - either way we got screwed!! Want to see the proof - just look south and see whats on TV and some more hard decisions that TRUMP will surely be criticized either way he goes on very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe too late for this country with over 30 million mistakes here already and growing and we are becoming a sh*t hole country day by day as we speak!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I don't think he was. At least not overtly. The link is to an article from Oct. 25, 2016, at the L.A. Times.
