Former Army Ranger serving Ohio's 8th District in Congress. It's not compassionate to bankrupt America--financially or morally. Good governments defend freedom.

People think these are naive, innocent mistakes. They know excess spending debases the currency. They know their energy policies are fueling higher prices. They know that subsidies raise prices. When they said they wanted to fundamentally remake America, they meant it.
JUST IN: Biden administration to provide over $13 BILLION in aid to help American families pay energy bills - CNBC
Fighting inflation by... printing more money
Peace.
Proverbs 3:29-31
“Do not plan harm against your neighbor who lives trustingly beside you.
Do not quarrel with anyone without cause, when no harm has been done to you.
Do not envy the violent and do not choose any of their ways…”
Last week President Biden incorrectly stated that he passed legislation to bailout student loans.
Congress never approved such a reckless plan.
Fortunately, the courts recognize that only Congress can authorize spending and they have halted Biden’s unconstitutional plan.
PMI came in at 45, housing is collapsing as is manufacturing data. The personal savings rate has collapsed, credit card debt is exploding. 37% of small businesses are behind on their rent.
Don't tell me the consumer is strong & there is no recession in sight.
🤔 Only now does Joe Biden begin to understand that he is no leading a vanguard of energy revolutionaries, but is in fact crushing America’s economy and hardworking Americans with his failed energy policies?
Their Green New Deal is designed to work this way. #JoeMustGo
The oil industry has a choice.
Either invest in America by lowering prices for consumers at the pump and increasing production and refining capacity.
Or pay a higher tax on your excessive profits and face other restrictions.
President Biden is holding school lunch programs hostage in order to force schools to ignore biological reality.
To many on the left, promoting their woke agenda is more important than feeding children.
Recession will be followed by calls for more subsidies. Democrats have only one solution to offer: more government.
We need less economic distortion by big government, and the Fed’s big balance sheet.
More freedom.
Less government.

Historically, inflation hasn’t been tamed until borrowing costs exceed the rate of inflation. Growing the supply of labor would help reduce inflation. Scaling down artificial stimulus (government subsidies) would increase labor force participation. Democrats prefer recession…
The Federal Reserve should be selling assets shrinking the balance sheet, but they’re still buying after ST debt matures. Selling would have similar effect on rates (higher), without the cadence of centrally planned rate announcements. $1T sold = xx bps?
Some GOP like McConnell & Romney, condemned attack on Paul Pelosi.
Most remained silent.
Others made jokes.
Others suggested attacker be released.
Others tried to score points by comparing to Rand Paul getting decked by his neighbor.
This from the Party of “Christian values”.
Under Xi, the Chinese people are as captive as the Russian people. China, however, is far more dangerous. America needs to #StayFocused. Xi seems willing to use every tool conceivable in pursuit of Chinese dominance.
They’re right. And China has yet to be held accountable.

about the deadly consequences of fentanyl. Drugs are bad, but now they’re poisoned with fentanyl making fatal drugs the leading cause of death for 18-45 year olds.
Solution? Pass my #StopTheCartels Act and #SecureTheBorder.
If 30 well established members of Congress aren’t permitted to issue a tactfully worded call for diplomatic resolution to war, how much latitude do you think they have to vote their conscience on consequential legislation? This retraction gives a glimpse into the real Washington.
& Treasury are too focused on progressives’ divisive equity agenda. Instead, they should focus on lowering inflation and getting Americans back to work.
We must preserve money as a stable store of value and an efficient means of exchange. Digital money must preserve the essential characteristics of cash: privacy and permission-less peer to peer transactions.
#SoundMoney is essential to defending freedom. As described here, by the UK’s likely Prime Minister, CBDC is a corruption of money. A centrally managed, centrally controlled, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a tool for coercion and control.
Drugs are bad, but now they are poisoned with fentanyl. Fatal overdose is the leading cause of death for 18-45 year olds. Pass my bill to #StopTheCartels.
Hu Jintao, the former Chinese leader, was unexpectedly escorted out of the Communist Party congress without explanation. He appeared to pause to speak to President Xi Jinping before leaving. https://nyti.ms/3eUFHEJ
The effort to memory hole their culpability for the mass psychosis behind COVID authoritarianism is a new demonstration of corporate media power and their contempt for the truth.
An honest #FreePress is essential for defending freedom.
Jake Tapper: "I have to say I'm surprised that there hasn't been a national conversation about the damage done to kids because of these school closures"
So many people don't understand 'freedom of speech'.
1/ Freedom of speech means people have a right to say things you may consider offensive or despicable.
2/ Freedom of speech also means you can criticise people who say things you consider offensive or despicable.
employees of “horrifying” “systemic racism” for a “whipping” that he knew did not occur. He lied to Congress that he has “operational control” & Americans continue to die. #ImpeachMayorkas - it’s not “political,” it’s our duty.
