United States News Title: I’m Fighting For Taxpayers: Gaetz I’m Fighting For Taxpayers: Gaetz Tyler Durden MONDAY, OCT 02, 2023 - 08:00 PM Op-Ed authored by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) via RealClear Wire, I know who my bosses are. They aren’t the special interests in Washington, it isn’t party leadership, it’s my voters in Florida.
Earlier this month, I sat down with some of my bosses in Destin, Florida for a podcast they host in their driveway. I was there to be held accountable. Congress has yet to achieve the things voters are asking for like term limits and a balanced budget. That’s what this fight in Congress is all about. It’s about making sure the promises we’ve made to voters are fulfilled. The Speaker made promises to me and other lawmakers in January, and I want to hold him to account. To be specific, that agreement includes a vote on term limits, a vote on a balanced budget amendment, single subject spending bills, and the full release of the January 6 tapes. This isn’t about politics or personality. It’s about sticking to our word, and getting our nation back on track. In Joe Biden’s America, families are having to pinch pennies, so Congress should too. Politicians that have spent decades running up America’s deficit are taking this personally. Rep. John Carter, who has been on the appropriations committee since 2005, recently attacked me as an “idiot” to a reporter. Okay. What’s idiotic is that our nation’s national debt has increased more than $25 trillion since 2005. Some people are desperate to make a policy battle personal, because their policy failures are personally embarrassing. We have to stop the fiscal insanity in Washington and get our spending under control. I’m not voting for a continuing resolution that funds Jack Smith’s election interference, dangerous chaos on the southern border, and money for the endless war in Ukraine. Just think about what it means for Congress to govern by Continuing Resolution. Every time we vote for a continuing resolution, we make no changes in policy or spending. It’s a vote to continue the status quo. If that’s all Congress is going to do, just replace us with AI bots, because we aren’t doing anything. The hearings are fun, but it’s the budgets where real policy changes are made. Moody’s chief economist recently said that the typical American household is spending $709 a month more than they were two years ago just to buy the same goods and services. That’s nearly $9,000 per year being stolen from Americans through the hidden tax of inflation. Americans literally cannot afford Washington’s reckless spending. Politicians in Washington DC - on both sides of the aisle - are robbing the American people and their grandchildren to pay for war in Ukraine, drag queen shows in Ecuador, an open border, free stuff for illegal immigrants, and the Biden Department of Justice’s illegal election interference. I came to Washington to be a voice for my voters and fix this once great nation. I’m not here to empower the Democrats’ radical agenda. I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit by and do nothing while greed and corruption destroys our great nation. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R) represents the 1st Congressional District of Florida. He is a member of the 117th Congress currently serving his third term in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Sadly there should be more patriots in Congress backing you up. But unfortunately, Congress is overstocked with comie dems, and comie pubs. Just yesterday I heard on RAV channel that Newt Gingrich was advocating Congress remove Gaetz from the Republican party and to be removed from Congress. What an asshole Gingrich is. Not surprising though, since he is a member of the commi CFR !!! Si vis pacem, para bellum
Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

What an asshole Gingrich is. Not surprising though, since he is a member of the commi CFR !!! I've been seeing some of the same responses. Lawler, Chip Roy, and Lindsey Graham... They're losing it. I didn't know Newt was CFR. That explains some things.

He's probably thinking the same about us peasants who supported McCarthy's removal. THANKS, NEWT! We feel the same way about some of you.
