Texas Republican: Get Rid Of The CBO

gohmert, cbo, do, away











"And despite the misinformation spewed on this floor, the fact is that when taxes have been cut, revenues go up — each time it's been done. But we have such an ignorant way for CBO to operate, so for this political animal, and "I know people say it's bipartisan — baloney. CBO is not bipartisan," he said.

And the rest of the illegitimate government while we're at it.

SEAL Training And Trained Seals

"The lesson here is that Government, in this case US Navy SEAL Instructors, understand just how far they can push before something snaps. If you do not push hard enough, you will end up with weak links in the Teams. Push too hard, and the organism fails - sailors die in the surf.

Push just right...you end up with a Navy SEAL.

Look across our society and see if you can find that same pattern being employed by those who would be our Masters."

Lee, Rubio: GOP In 'Lockstep' With Tea Party

“I think it’s a big mistake,” he said, “because the worst thing you can do in the midst of the greatest recession in a generation is to increase taxes. When you increase taxes you discourage investment, and investment is what’s necessary to increase jobs. If we increase taxes right, now we’re going to kill jobs. And we can’t afford to do that.”

If At First You Don’t Secede

You cannot force me to agree with you. You can force me to act as though I agreed with you…but then you’ll have to watch your back. All the time.

"I heard an idiot on the radio this morning proclaiming grandly that the sovereign remedy for all the nation’s problems is to impose a heavy tariff on all imported products, so that people are economically compelled to buy only those things that are produced in America, by Americans...........the American conflict erroneously known as the “Civil War” was the direct and inevitable result of tariffs.

Foreign Aid

Dear Mr. Townsend:

Thank you for contacting me regarding your opposition to foreign aid. I value hearing from you on this matter and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

You will be pleased to know that I am opposed to spending taxpayer dollars on aid to foreign countries. Our taxes should be spent on maintaining and improving our domestic issues and programs. For many years our government operated beyond our means while accumulating a $5,369.7 billion federal debt and a $290,402 million budget deficit. In this time of economic strife, I believe that lending more foreign aid would be detrimental to our country's already fragile financial state. Further, we need to take care of our own people before we continue to hand out more borrowed money to other countries.

I will keep your thoughts in mind when legislation concerning foreign aid is brought to the House floor. Rest assured that I do not support foreign aid and will continue to vote "no" on foreign appropriation legislation as I have consistently done in the past.

Again, thank you for taking the time to write on this important issue. If I may be of further assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones
Member of Congress
