Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, says he came to Washington to cut spending, not add to the deficits and debt that will crush future generations.

He spoke on Thursday, one day after House leaders, working with the White House, produced a $1.1 trillion spending bill. And Brat warned of worse to come. ...

11 years? I can see the bottom falling out of this economic house of cards at any moment.

I just RIPPED my “congressman” a new one in an email. This budget is beyond betrayal. Time to clean House, I’m going to start with my guy. That damned Ryan needs a “motion to vacate the chair!” I hope Mike Meadows is up to it again, the only one in DC with enough guts to pull it off again! DOWN WITH RYAN (and his screwy beard!).

I think the Republican leadership has just guaranteed the end of their party. Trump will be the nominee, and will start the Trump party in 2018, sweeping away all remnants of a corrupt and dishonest party. If the GOP takes out Trump, then Hillary will win for sure. So the battle will be Trump and Citizens vs. GOP.

As for the monstrous spending bill produced this week, "Everyone threw in the kitchen sink," Brat said." "I don't think the average American is going to be happy with the product at all. We broke the budget caps that we promised at the beginning of the year by at least $80 billion over two years. We lost $106 billion in deficit reduction. And so just on the numbers, I'm a no vote."

The R's surrender again.

Freedom Caucus? What an oxymoronic term!! They put Ryan in his position as speaker.

Screw DC. I will never vote for any politician again, especially if they are attorneys.

So Cong. Brat doesn’t get it. The budget problem is here now, since you can’t control your spending. If you’re an alcoholic, you’re an alcoholic now, whether you’re actually “out of control” or not. Jeez these guys are dumb.

If you haven’t bought any ammo in the past couple years, you’re wasting your money less important stuff. Your wife won’t understand now, but you’ll be her hero when the Ozombies come.

Need to get rid of his Republic killing scraggly arse before he gets more entrenched. Scum replacing scum is not improvement.

When there is no money for law enforcement or defense, lock and load.
