My reflections on this week's BETRAYAL
I want to reflect for a moment on what just happened this week...
Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leaders betrayed the Tea Party and every American who is concerned with runaway government spending and debt.
President Trump shares in the blame as well, as he pushed this DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL through from the original shadowy, backroom dealings all the way to the final Senate vote.
So we end up with a deal that INCREASES deficit spending by TWO TRILLION DOLLARS and eliminates any caps on government spending well into the future. We should not believe anything that the leadership of the Republican Party has to say during the 2020 election cycle on government spending, deficits and debts.
And here's the worst of it...
Read moreHere are the GOP Senators who just betrayed you...
The Senate has completed its vote on the DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL, and sadly, the bill passed ONLY BECAUSE GOP LEADERSHIP AND GOP SENATORS pushed the bill through.
In all, 29 GOP Senators voted in favor of the bill that did not have the support of a majority of Republicans in Congress (see list below). McConnell and these GOP Betrayers made their political bed with Pelosi and Schumer.
But we're taking names...

Sen. Rand Paul has announced he will vote NO on the DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL that will be voted on in the Senate AS SOON AS TOMORROW.
Here's what Sen. Paul tweeted:
The proposed budget deal violates every principle of conservatism. The deal allows unlimited borrowing until after the next election and eliminates the spending caps. Every conservative in America should respond in outrage: “Why did we even bother to elect Republicans.”
Read moreGOP Senators DIVIDED on Debt Deal
After the House passed the Pelosi DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL last week with a majority of Republicans voting NO, the question is... will GOP Establishment leaders push the bill if there is significant GOP senate opposition?
+ + "Perpetuates fiscal recklessness"
The fact is, the DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL cannot pass with GOP support! And some GOP Senators have already come out against the deal. Mitt Romney:
“This deal unfortunately perpetuates fiscal recklessness by adding another $2 trillion to the debt, and I cannot support it. We must repair our fiscal foundation and set a course to a balanced budget now so that we avoid a future debt crisis that would pose grave hardships for our children and grandchildren.”
How bad is it?

We're puzzled.
We thought conservatives were concerned about debt and deficits and runaway spending.
But based on what our team members are telling us, we're not sure...
So we're asking...
Read moreWarm embrace on House floor (video)
Yesterday, the House voted to pass the DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL that ADDS $2 TRILLION in NEW DEBT (on top of the trillions already in the budget) and creates annual TRILLION DOLLAR deficits well into the future.
The good news is, a majority of Republicans voted against the dirty deal. The BAD NEWS is, this dirty deal doesn't get done without GOP support... and a good, warm embrace on the House floor.
Yes, a warm embrace...

UPDATE: House Vote Today!
I'm a HUGE fan of Rush Limbaugh...
But on Tuesday...
He CAVED to political pragmatism in justifying the Trump-Pelosi DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL that ADDS $2 TRILLION new NEW DEBT (on top of the trillions already in the budget) and creates annual TRILLION DOLLAR deficits well into the future.
He blamed the liberals and the media in saying we simply CAN'T WIN a budget debate.
Read moreSHOCK: "GOP repeals legacy of Tea Party"
Daniel Horowitz writing in Conservative Review argues that with this DIRTY DEFICIT DEAL that the GOP has repealed "the entire legacy of the Tea Party in one fell swoop."
Horowitz points out that ever since WINNING a battle over long-term government spending in 2011, Republicans have GIVEN UP THE FIGHT and actually used their majorities in D.C. to ADD BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS TO THE DEBT! Horowitz writes:
Read moreURGENT: GOP supporting $1 trillion deficit dirty deal!
It's happening AGAIN -- and this time Congressional Republicans and President Trump just announced that they are partnering with Democrats on a DIRTY BUDGET DEAL that greatly expands government spending and creates $1 Trillion deficits for the foreseeable future -- with no real spending cuts!
Right now, the Pelosi House is RUSHING to push through the back-room deal and pass this massive spending and deficit boondoggle BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK. And not only have most Republicans been silent, they are COMPLICIT in the spending madness.
