The Biden Administration has spent and printed a reckless amount of money since entering office in January 2020.
Nearly $4 trillion has been spent in just the eighteen months President Joe Biden has been in the White House, fueling the reason why inflation remains at a 40-year high and the economy is quickly heading down a black hole.
However, with the newly-controlled GOP house, Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) vowed to intervene with Biden’s big spending plans.
“I like to remind people: The power of the purse strings resides with the House,” Gonzalez said, adding that Republicans need to take action right away.
As the GOP takes over the House next year, Gonzalez said Republicans will put a cap on Democrat’s highway robbery spending, which has caused American’s wallets to dwindle.
The Texas Rep. criticized Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, which wiped thousands of student loans that needed to be paid off.
“Republicans need to go on the offensive,” Gonzalez said, “there was nothing 'free' about free college.”
Moving on to the Democrat’s Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden promised would diminish inflation, only has caused the situation to worsen.
“The reality is that [Democrats] caused this inflation to occur, and all they've done is add more fuel to the fire. The Inflation Reduction Act did nothing but reduce inflation,” Gonzales said.
When Biden took office, the 2021 budget deficit was $2.8 trillion, well over the normal range.
To breakdown where the money went during Biden’s two years in office, $1.9 trillion went to the American Rescue Plan, $13 billion went to “gun violence,” $737 billion went to the Inflation Reduction Plan, and $280 billion to the CHIPS Act.
It will all go down the same way it did when the tea party got Republicans to take over Congress during the Oboma years: They’ll get into a standoff with Biden over the budget which may result in a gov’t shut down, Democrats including Biden will go on a misery tour blaming Republicans for the shutdown just like they did during Obama years, the GOP will start getting wobbly knees and worrying about image then f I nally cave, just like they did during the Obama years, then the spending will go on unimpeded.....as usual.
De-Fund the IRS.
All as planned
Lol… Republicans and Democrats are on the same course which doesn’t include us. I only vote Republican because I “hate them” less.
Then let the Senate deal with it. That will take away a lot of Schumer's power, and indirectly, McConnell's, too. They won't have a massive spending bill to negotiate their hidden pork. They will have to pass what the House sends them, and then defend why they refuse to approve spending for each department.
No more 2,000 page spending bills that "we have to pass to find out what's in it."

ROTFLMFAO!!!!..... ok. LOL.
Cut all foreign aid.
Cut all funding to the UN and NATO.
In 2015, Mitch McConnell became leader of the Republican senate conference.
In 2015, the U.S. national debt was 18 trillion dollars.
In 2022, the U.S. national debt is over 31 trillion dollars.
"GOP House Promises to Take Control of Biden's Reckless Impeachable, Constitutionally Indefensible Spending ASAP"
There! Fixed it.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Sadly, all it takes is for one House GOP to effectively exercise majority power by publicly whistleblowing that probably most federal domestic spending and foreign aid is unconstitutional.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Consider that much of the federal taxes that we pay should arguably be regarded as stolen state revenues, and money stolen from our wallets, according to the excerpt from Gibbons v. Ogden above.
Regarding foreign aid, Justice Joseph Story had explained that it is constitutionally indefensible.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
Trump needs to continue endorsing MAGA Republicans to replace the hopefully relatively small percentage of RINOs that tricked him for endorsement in 2022 when they vote in support of Democratic agenda in new session.
.
The ENTIRE Media and the entirety of Wash DC considers passed Legislation as success.
What is legislation?
99.999% of the time it’s spending money.
The GOP worked with Biden to pass his agenda for 2 years.
Ignore the Election season rants designed for Idiots.
The Republicans told two entities: we’re giving you more than that request:
The FBi and Ukraine
.
And if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge I wanna’ sell ‘ya.
**YAWN** Wake me up when THEY DO IT!!!
So they are going to balance the budget going forward, and rescind all the approved spending that hasn’t already been cash out the door yet? That will be impressive!
And do something about the Ukrainian money pit from hell already
Better twelve years and debt to GDP at 125% late than never.
They have all spent us into oblivion. They are all criminals.
They already rejected the house rule changes that would make it possible to control spending [I know, I was shocked too. It’s almost like Boehner and his sidekick Ryan are still running the show].
I totally believe this... /s
Lying swamp enablers
Biden to Lame Duck Congress: Spend like mother-f@#$ers because the Republicans will be in the majority comes January. Make hay while the sun’s still shining.
