Chip Roy (R-TX) stamps his tiny little feet, sends Trump a letter asking him to veto the budget bill

[Miles Archer]

“You should veto this bill because it is fiscally irresponsible,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Trump. “It blows well beyond what was intended with the 2011 [Budget Control Act] caps. Furthermore, it continues spending hundreds of billions more than what we take in a year and does not put our nation on a path towards a balanced budget.”

The effort is being driven by first-term Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).

“As the greatest nation in the history of the world, the least we can do is cut a deal that does not sabotage the fiscal future of our nation while endangering millions of American and migrants because of our porous border,” the lawmakers wrote. “We can do better.”

1. And how did you vote on the tax cut bill, Mr. Roy?

Wasn't that supposed to balance the budget? It didn't?! Are you as shocked as I am, Mr. Roy? It didn't work again, darn the luck. It was probably that Obama, doncha think?

6. He wasn't in the House then. But I am sure that he advised his boss, Ted Cruz to vote for it. nt

2. Somebody in the right wing leadership forgot to tell Roy

Budget deficits caused by Democrats are bad. Budget deficits caused by Republicans are either good or at least don‘t matter.

Hasn‘t this jerk ever heard of Dick Cheney?

3. They also forgot to tell him

that this is in no way, shape or form the greatest nation in the history of the world.

10. He needs to be forced to watch the opening scene of The Newsroom"

Yeah, it was fiction, but he‘s a Republican, so why should he suddenly start caring whether something is fiction or not?

4. Why don't that asshole insist that the republican tax giveaway to the rich gets repealed?

At least then he would have put one of his clueless fucking fingers on the real cause for the exploding budget deficit.

5. I can't wait for Wendy Davis to kick his ass in the next congressional election. nt

7. Is she in his district? nt

[TexasTowelie]

15. Yes she is.

The gerrymandered district begins in southwest Austin and runs to the south and west.

17. Could be tough for her, but she was a State Senator from that area and ran for Governor.

I like her chances and will put her on my donations list. Thanks Tex.

18. Wendy was a state senator from the Fort Worth area when she ran for governor.

She moved to Austin after that race.

9. Beat me to it by a minute or so. Would love to see her take Cornyn's seat, but...

the Senate primary is already too crowded.

looks like she's got this, and unless they steal it, she'll be perfectly placed to take on Cruz.

[TexasTowelie]

16. You're correct, this will provide her an opportunity to run against Cruz in 2024. nt

8. I hope that Wendy Davis beats this idiot

[Vogon_Glory]

14. So do I

So do I

11. Hey Chipper! Just repeal the #TaxScam passed by the tRump party a couple of years ago.

That will help put things in a better position. Best yet, go back to #ClintonBalancedBudget.

12. His actions are his reaction to Wendy Davis. Go Wendy!! nt

13. Roy should propose that Congress claw back some of the tax

gifts for the super rich. That would be fiscally responsible. But, I sure that Roy has in mind starving more poor people and driving them to steal and rob.
