    It’s embarrassing that Republican leaders are again talking about putting off spending cuts. @POTUS’s “wall funding or shutdown” talk is distracting everyone from the bigger issue: that government spending continues to grow unabated, just as it did under the last administration.

        I approve of following the Constitution, defending economic freedom, and protecting individual liberty. I didn’t come up with any of those ideas.

        I’m elected to represent all the people of my district. The only honest and appropriate approach is to follow the principles I have stated.

        The best manner in which @justinamash can serve the people of his district is to state his principles clearly and then stick to them if elected. What more could you ask for?

        Wrong. Obama and Clinton are the only 2 Presidents in the last 9 terms who *shrank* the deficit. Spending did not "grow unabated" under Obama.⬇️ Oh, and Clinton cut the most govt jobs (325,000) of any president. The GOP has no claim to "small govt" or "fiscal responsibility".pic.twitter.com/MuefJq0oip

        That's a great claim if you ignore the fact that the national debt doubled under Obama. Notably, both parties reduced spending in the 90's but it's clear that when a single party is in power all they do is spend, that's Clinton before 94, Bush, Obama, and Trump.

        The national debt grew under Obama only because the federal gov't's only tool in an economic crisis is to throw money at it. Obama averted not one but *three* crises (auto mfg, financial and housing). You seem to think you could do that for free. Naive blame-shifting.

        I don't have to refute that, Calvin Coolidge already did. Being ignorant of history isn't an excuse.

        Then I guess you have no excuse, although you're ignorant of history. Neither of the parties reduced spending in the '90's as you claimed. To make matters worse for your argument, the top 3 spending increases since Nixon have all occurred under GOP presidents, by a wide margin.pic.twitter.com/0v6yCy8dAh

        Umm, yeah, you might want to check that again. Spending dropped from nearly 22 percent of GDP to 18 percent in the 90s in the midst of divided gov. That's during divided government when this country still passed budgets instead of continuing resolutions to fund stupid crap.

        Spending is the problem. Balance the budget. Don’t raise taxes.

        It's about time we admit that raising taxes "OR" decreasing spending is just another way of contracting the money supply and reduce asset prices. Just like raising interest rates. It contracts the economy too. The only argument is who is paying #WednesdayWisdom

        It's worse now, thanks to that tax "cut." We're paying more. Corporations less. Winning.

        If people actually had to file and pay their own taxes instead of relying on their employers to do it for them, our tax system would be fixed in one election cycle.

        So then you're self employed? If so, you're one of a very small minority of people in the US that does, solely, file and pay their tax burden.
