U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Budget. Working to get our fiscal house in order. | Chair @RepArrington
Washington, DC
Joined September 2016
THIS JUST IN: @USCBO confirms $1.9 trillion Biden Bailout Bill would cause $36 billion in cuts to Medicare starting next year. The Democrat plan sacrifices a healthcare program for America’s seniors to bailout political allies & enact a radical agenda.

Now that we've resolved that Medicare and Social Security are off the table (as @SpeakerMcCarthy and Republicans have repeatedly said), let's act responsibly by reducing the hundreds of billions in wasteful Washington spending and stave off a future debt crisis.

Israel needs our help. Congress must decide: do we continue to raise revenue off the backs of low-income families making less than $25k or do we put an end to predatory audits on those least able to afford while ALSO supporting Israeli defenses?. @SpeakerJohnson has it right.

Let’s call @POTUS’s $2T “infrastructure” plan what it really is: Biden’s Build Back by Borrowing & Taxing Plan. The boondoggle would cost FOUR TIMES the cost of building the national interstate highway system.

Don’t let @WhiteHouse fool you: @POTUS' FY25 budget CUTS Social Security receipts by $17 billion.
180 House Republicans just proposed a budget that would raise the Social Security retirement age and slash Medicare – all to cut taxes for the wealthy. President Biden has a different plan: protect Social Security and Medicare. And make the wealthy pay their fair share.

"The bottom line: $3.5 trillion is merely the first installment of a bill that would put government at the commanding heights of family life and the economy for decades to come. Tax increases will follow as far as the eye can see.".
From @WSJopinion: Even if the bill shrinks to $2 trillion or less, the real costs will be far greater. Behold one of the greatest fiscal cons in history.

Instead of focusing on ways to grow America, Joe Biden’s budget finds new ways to target Americans. His budget would take $80 billion to permanently expand the IRS and hire over 80,000 new auditors to go after Americans.

Since President Biden has been in office there have been 8.7 million illegal migrant encounters nationwide—over 75 BILLION taxpayer dollars have been spent on illegal immigrants.
The Senate’s disastrous “border bill” is political window dressing for Democrats in an election year. • Accepts 1.8 million illegal migrants a year. • Empowers human trafficking. • Expands Mayorkas’ parole abuse. To suggest that this bill provides “border security” is
