The federal government’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. How did we do financially as a nation in controlling our national debt now that the Republicans control both Houses of Congress?
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/current
09/30/2016: National debt equals $19,573,444,713,936.79 That is, 19 trillion, 573 billion, 444 million, 713 thousand, 936 dollars and 79 cents.

Key:
O = President is Barack Hussein Obama
B = President is George W. Bush
Ds = Democrats control the Senate
Rs = Republicans control the Senate
Rh = Republicans control the House of Representatives
D = Democrats control both Houses of Congress
R = Republicans control both Houses of Congress
Remember this: Congress is responsible for the final budget not the President. With the Republican Party controlling BOTH the House and the Senate, the national debt increased by the third highest amount since 2001 and the third highest in the history of the nation. The Republican Party through Congress is responsible for this fiscal year’s increase of almost one and one half trillion dollars. This happened because the Republican Party has become the Capitulation Party giving President Obama free rein to spend, spend, spend including the continued financing of Planned Murderhood.

“GOP-controlled Congress folds for new Obama spending binge
Congressman: ‘Not good for the country, not good for the taxpayer’
By Greg Corombos
10/2/16
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Representative Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is furious that yet another bloated bill to keep the government running was approved on Capitol Hill this week and he fears it will only set the stage for an even greater spending binge come December. [And he should be! More importantly, every single taxpayer in the country should be! We as a nation are spending ourselves into economic extinction. The national debt has more than tripled over the last fifteen years! More than tripled!]
Jordan says this move was designed by party leaders to avoid a government shutdown that would surely be blamed on Republicans [Why? If the Republicans pass a budget and it is vetoed, it is the fault of President Obama not the Republicans. Furthermore, by law, the government DOES NOT shut down. The nonessential parts of the federal government close down until a budget is reached.], even though he says it’s really the Democrats that gummed up the appropriations process.
‘It’s not good for the country and not good for the taxpayer,’ said Jordan.
The legislation, known as a continuing resolution, easily passed the U.S. Senate 72-26 on Wednesday, followed by a similarly lopsided 342-85 margin in the House. It keeps federal funding at existing levels [Including money for Planned Murderhood!] but also includes special funding for Zika response [More spending!], aid for flood victims in Louisiana [More spending!] and other projects [More spending! The Democrats who control neither House got everything they wanted! Why is that? How is that possible? The Capitulation Party capitulated once more and will do so again in December if the past is an example for the future!].
Jordan says he voted against the bill for multiple reasons, including Congress failing to follow regular order and approve 13 individual spending bills rather than one giant bill that only the leadership of both parties in the House and Senate got to craft [No amendments were allowed and the House did not have three days to examine the bill as required by House rules!].
He also says it ignores our nation’s balance sheet once again [Increasing the national debt!].
‘I think when you’ve got a $20 trillion debt, you’ve got to try to get a handle on the spending. Here we are increasing it at a time when the deficit went up this year. Really? We’re just going to go ahead and spend at that level. (The House Freedom Caucus) felt that didn’t make sense and that’s why we were against the earlier budget proposal in the Spring of this year as well [and they are correct!],’ said Jordan.

While Jordan is frustrated that spending levels negotiated by President Obama and former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, are still in place, he says Democrats are very effective at forcing the GOP’s hand [Because the Capitulation Party is unwilling to fight for what they CLAIM to believe!].
‘Primarily, it’s not happening because in the Senate, Harry Reid won’t let the individual bills come up for a vote. That’s the way it’s supposed to work,’ said Jordan. ‘He’s been able to win every fight by saying, ‘Look, I’m going to hold up defense spending until you give me the spending I want on domestic issues [Harry Reid is the Minority Leader not the Majority Leader!].’
‘What that means is taxpayers get the short end. I think, frankly, our military gets the short end of that deal too and it’s just not good for the country,’ said Jordan.
Jordan says Republicans would be in a position to cut spending without Reid’s parliamentary games [The majority controls the Senate. They can’t stop his parliamentary maneuvers? The answer is “yes,” if they really wanted to stop them!].
‘If we could get our troops funded and our military funded at the right level and get that bill taken care of early, then I think we could go after some of the ridiculous spending and some of the ridiculous regulations within the federal government,’ said Jordan.
He says Republicans always end up giving in as government shutdowns loom because the party refuses to frame the debate in a way that would be a winner for them in the court of public opinion. Jordan says the party needs to fight [What an understatement!].
Last year, he says the battle should have been waged over Planned Parenthood funding in the wake of videos explaining how the nation’s largest abortion provider alters their methods of killing unborn babies in order to preserve organs for which researchers pay the most money.
This year, Jordan thinks the battle should have been pitched over tightening up the vetting of Middle East refugees [Ending the invasion of Middle East refugees].
Incidentally, Planned Parenthood funding may soon be increasing due to the provisions associated with the Zika funding [Will be! The Obama Administration will make sure that happens!].
So why did 70 percent of House Republicans vote for the continuing resolution? Jordan says there are multiple reasons, but the political calendar is the most likely explanation.
‘Some are OK with the spending levels and everything else, but for some I think it was also a concern about a shutdown scenario here five weeks before a presidential election [Because they are NOT willing to fight for what they claim to believe. Democrats are! Far too many so-called Republicans are not!],’ said Jordan.
The government is now funded until December 9. Jordan says that debate will look even uglier as a lame duck session cobbles together funding through September 2017 [Has for the last two years!].
‘We’re kicking a big spending measure into a lame duck session; a lame duck session when a number of members will no longer be accountable to the voters. The voters will just have spoken, just picked a Congress for the upcoming year. Yet, they’re [The current Congress which will have defeated and retiring members voting on spending for the next year because the fiscal year budget was not passed before September 30th.] going to be going back and dealing with billions of dollars of spending,’ said Jordan.
Jordan says that never turns out well for taxpayers.
‘In the last five years, we have seen what happens in lame duck sessions. We’ve seen what happens right before the holidays. You get tax increases. You get omnibus, cromnibus, big spending measures. It never works out good for the taxpayers and families of this country in my judgment,’ said Jordan.
The congressman says this is yet another aspect of the system that drives voters crazy, as Washington operates under a different set of rules than most hardworking Americans.
‘There are two standards. One for ‘We the People’ and a different one for the politically connected. One for us regular folks and another if your name is Lois Lerner, John Koskinen or Hillary Clinton,’ said Jordan referring to IRS officials neck-deep in the scandal of the government harassing conservative groups and individuals.
And just this week, lawmakers, including Jordan, grilled FBI Director Jim Comey over multiple immunity offers and no prosecutions in the investigation of Clinton’s handling of classified information and her use of a private server [She violated the Espionage Act and was allowed to skate. If she gets elected President, the first thing the new House should do is impeach her!].
Jordan says the public is incensed, even if the Justice Department is not.
‘That’s why you see such strong appeal for Donald Trump, particularly in our state of Ohio. It’s because they know he’s going to come in and shake up the system [I do not think he will! He will also greatly increase government spending if his new proposed programs are passed!], which needs to happen,’ said Jordan.”
You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.
