Two years ago I decided to run for Congress. I was fed up with what was happening in American politics and how our local politicians clearly did not listen or do what the people they represent wanted. Fast forward today I still feel the same way. In the two years since...our national debt has increased 4 trillion dollars, career politicians remain in office with no term limits in sight. Democrats and Republicans members of congress seem to become millionaires in a short amount of time due to their "impeccable" ability to trade stocks. Current members of congress will not pass a law on themselves to stop insider trading or limit themselves with term limits. All while congress chooses NOT to be responsible with our tax payer money, always passing the federal budget late and overspending. This dysfunctional process is repeated each year over and over, and these politicians continue to be elected. While we are more recently hearing about fraud in government, the Government Accountability Office estimates that the federal government loses up to 521 billion dollars to fraud each year. We pay so much in taxes the government can't keep track of our money very well. A department of government efficiency should not be a partisan issue or department. Our government needs to be accountable and good stewards of our taxes. Our Idaho congressmen are ages 75 and 63, while our two senators are 82 and 74. My opponent has been in politics longer than I have been alive. While we might complain about the politicians in D.C. Idaho we send the same old career politicians to represent us in D.C. We are a part of the problem. Electing the same old career politicians and expecting a different result in D.C. is insanity.
Idaho, we need a common sense non-politician to speak up for Idaho in Washington D.C.
Tax cuts are worthless if the government keeps overspending. Inflation is the real tax.
