David Brat: Next House Speaker Must Tackle Trillion-Dollar Problems (against Boehner)
breitbart.com ^ | 1/4/15 | Dave Brat

Posted on 01/04/2015 7:15:05 PM PST by cotton1706

Whoever runs for the Republican leadership of the U.S. House on Tuesday must communicate on paper how Congress is going to lead on the big issues. The American people elected us to solve trillion-dollar problems, not to kick the can down the road with only symbolic votes. My district expects any leader to clearly outline bold solutions on the major issues of our day, such as:

· How he or she will defend the Constitution and challenge President Obama’s repeated illegal overreach into areas of congressional authority, particularly his unconstitutional amnesty by presidential decree;

· How he will end Washington’s out-of-control spending and debt addiction that is mortgaging our children’s future and promises to cripple our economy within the next decade;

· How he will defund Obamacare to stop skyrocketing insurance premiums on struggling families as well as the destruction of jobs it’s causing;

· How he will stop excessive regulations like the EPA’s overregulation of farms and small businesses – regulations that have made it prohibitively expensive to run a business and create jobs.

These are not just my priorities. These are the priorities that the American people expressed loudly and clearly on November 4th. And these need to be the priorities of the leaders of this next Congress.

Cochran won with Dem help. No one cared or held anyone accountable. Sucks but its the truth. In fact demands flew that we had to unite to do it.

My message to my congressman was that I understood he must generally do what the Speaker wanted and that’s why he needed to replace Boehner with a Speaker he could follow- and still get reelected.
Because Boehner had made him vote too liberal for his constituents, just like Cantor.
And I stated ny own displeasure with Boehner and his strategy.

Whatever you say it will make a difference. Congressmen listen or are replaced.

Can you imagine Eric Cantor saying the same thing? I can’t either.

I emailed Pete Sessions that if he votes for Boehner, then he is voting for the continued destruction of the Constitution and voting with Obama. Tomorrow I will call his Washington office. We need to burn of the phone lines on Monday, Jan 5.

Since the ruling class won’t cut spending because Free Stuff buys votes fort heifer-elections, there is no choice but to cut our own spending. Do without rather than go into debt. Teach your children to be thrifty and to manage money wisely. Remember the rule that if you must buy something, make sure it is made well enough to last several years, not disposable junk.

Most families have too much stuff that they rarely use. Sell the extras and put the money into an emergency fund or into retirement savings. You have to take care of yourself because the government is not going to help you or your family when the inevitable crash comes.

Trillion dollars problems are easy to solve...


DEFUND EVERYTHING defundable... partially or completely..

Whats not defundable.. then MAKE DEFUNDABLE.. for the second pass..

AND start eliminating agencys.. both in the Executive Branch and serving Congressional Staffers..

Audit the federal reserve.. and indite any sedition..
Then eliminate the federal reserve.. install the fair tax..
AND... pick through and Congressional perks for possible elimination..

CLOSE THE DAMN SOUTHERN BORDER... and police the northern one..

THEN.. send a chilly northern Wind AT any illegals in the country..
Most will deport themselves..

EASY....................................................
