Where was your concern for spending when you voted for the disastrous corporate tax cuts Congressman? 1.5 trillion in spending to enrich your campaign donors didn't seem to bother you.

He voted to cut taxes and voted to cut spending. The tax cut didn't have any items about spending. Btw, being a libertarian, he doesn't really have any rich campaign donors wanting a favor. He has no favors to give.
-
Club For Growth has spent almost a million bucks supporting him over his first four congressional elections. That qualifies as "rich campaign donors" in my book.
-
True, but at least he is one of the most transparent Congressman. I think it was 4ish years ago he had a challenge from one of those types of guys that was a John Boehner special, big money isn’t bad in and of itself.
-
That money wasn't to buy any special favors, hence my response about not having rich donors wanting favors. Club for Growth is a general advocacy group for free markets, which match Justin's principles.
-
Anyway, you said "rich donors wanting favors". You should ask CFG if they want favors.
-
Whatever they want of Justin they aren’t getting, Considering he’s been on the losing end of quite a bit. About the only thing I disagree with him on is that he voted for the tax cuts without spending cuts. That was a mistake, not that low taxes are bad, but spending is too high.

Spending is not too high.https://twitter.com/cascadetommy/status/1042522844385685505?s=21 …

So your vote on the tax scam bill was an error then? Hypocrite.
-
Tax bill was about revenue. His issue is with spending. You can't solve spending issues with revenue, particularly when the spending deficit is virtually impossible to cover with tax increases.
-
"better cut taxes to be fiscally responsible" rings a little hollow when you know your colleagues are going to balloon spending. Tax and spend Dems are being reasonable in this world compared to the "don't tax and still spend" Republicans.
-
The reduced revenue from the tax cuts only contributed a small amount to the deficit. So, for both Ds and Rs their policy is "borrow and spend." Justin one of the very few that is actually trying to address the problem, spending.
-
Do you have a citation for that claim the revenue losses were minimal?

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/28/us/politics/tax-bill-deficits.html … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_United_States_federal_budget … If you do the math, at 2017 levels the deficit over 10 years would be 6.7 trillion. The tax cut adds 1 trillion (some say 0.5) over the same time period. So a 15% increase. Not "minimal" but shows the problem is spending.
-
Both Republicans and Democrats are the problem, because they are both happy to continue spending our tax dollars for wars abroad, drug war, prison industry, military industrial complex, etc. Justin is one of the few trying to reign on that spending.

The only time Republicans seem to care about spending is when they're in the minority. We gave these clowns the majority and this is what we get in return. Maybe they need to lose big in November to get he friggin hint.

Just posted this on my Instagram account. I could not agree with you more. I vote for the individual. If I found a democrat who seems sincere and has an honest background, and swore to cut spending and taxes, I'd vote for him/her. Unlikely though

That's a gold hat, cool cat
