It’s clear that Speaker Johnson’s funding bill is nothing more than a blatant attempt to squander taxpayer money. Vivek Ramaswamy has rightly criticized this disgraceful piece of legislation, highlighting how the government is once again trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
For example, they are attempting to sneak in pay raises for members of Congress – despite the fact they have done very little to earn their keep. They also added an expansion of their federal health benefits while ordinary Americans struggle with healthcare costs.
Furthermore, the spending bill included the opening of yet another unnecessary stadium in Washington DC, as if we don’t have enough wasteful spending there already.
Ramaswamy declared, “I think we need outsiders to bring actual accountability to Washington DC so feel free to call your congressman and let ’em know how you feel about it.”
Call your elected representatives today to stop the steal of your tax dollars!

Funny how the bill held all kinds of trash like that, yet Democrats tried so hard to make it sound like Republicans are at fault for not agreeing to go along with it, resulting in a shut down.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries declared, “House Republicans have been ordered to shut down the government & hurt everyday Americans all across this country.”
He added, “House Republicans will now own any harm that is visited upon the American people.”
