If Congress wants sign-off on bills that cost in the billions and trillions, they need to be able to tell us line by line what the money is going towards and communicate that to the taxpayers who are paying for it.
John,
I've been a longtime champion for oversight—especially when it comes to taxpayer dollars. That’s why I believe Americans are right to question the price tag of all legislation.
It's critical that lawmakers in Washington are discussing our top priorities, how exactly we're going to meet them, and what it’s going to cost the American people. It’s also critical that the American people know exactly where that money is going. It’s like when my children ask me for $5–I don’t just give them the money, John. My response is always: “What for?”
If Congress wants sign-off on bills that cost in the billions and trillions, they need to be able to tell us line by line what the money is going towards—and communicate that to the taxpayers who are paying for it.
Because John, it’s not just about the cost of the bill. It’s about what it’s going to do to help working families across the country.
If you support oversight and prioritizing taxpayer dollars for policies that will actually help working families, please consider making a donation of $3 or whatever you can afford today to support my re-election campaign.
