Waste Fraud Abuse Legislated
Congressman Roy spoke on the Congressional Record
Last year … we were working together to change this place: to vote bills off the floor, to have single-subject bills, and to have 72 hours—a mere 72 hours—to read a bill.”“In just over a year, we have tossed all of that out the window, and we are back to business as usual. We jam a bill through…—a bill over a thousand pages—… in 24 hours”; a “$1.2 trillion” bill … littered with all manner of (questionable) earmarks and spending and programs… we are still figuring out … that are undermining the wellbeing of the American people.”
“… Money printed right out of thin air.”
“(Members of Congress) go along to get along (and) you own it. You own every penny…, every program.”
