A government that’s accountable

Remember, Senate Democrats had the chance to prove that their new army of IRS employees would not go after middle America and unanimously rejected it. They need to be held accountable for that deceit. Biden, and all Washington Democrats, have turned their backs on the same people they campaigned on helping - those making less than $400,000 a year.

This is just the beginning. Oversight has been sorely lacking the past two years, because of course it has! Democrats control the House, the Senate, and the White House – they have no incentive to conduct oversight on themselves.

But that still doesn’t explain why they haven’t conducted some of the most basic of oversight and investigative functions, such as getting to the bottom of the origins of COVID-19 or monitoring how COVID-19 relief funds are being spent. That’s unacceptable and the American people are paying the price.

As a member of the House Budget Committee and a candidate for Chairman, I am also preparing to hold both the White House and Congress accountable to sticking to our budget deadlines so that the American people know how their hard-earned dollars are being spent and what our plan is to secure this country’s financial future. The American people have to stick to a budget, and so should the federal government.

Unfortunately, Washington Democrats can hardly be bothered to show up to work.

Under a Republican majority, that will change. We are going to fully reopen Congress so that Washington Democrats and Republicans alike are forced to show up for their constituents and do the work we were elected to do.

Only then can we have a government that’s accountable.
