Jim Jordan to Fellow Republicans: ‘Let’s Just Do What We Said We Would Do’

Rep. Jim Jordan / April 13, 2018

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, delivered a passionate speech from the House floor Thursday during debate on a balanced budget amendment. The amendment fell short of the two-thirds majority vote required. A transcript of his speech is below.

Everyone knows this is a joke. It’s all pretend. Never going to become law. Never going to happen.

People are going to support it because voting for a balanced budget amendment is like voting for motherhood and apple pie, but everybody on this floor knows this is all pretend.

Yes, do what you said you would do.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

That actually is a boat that isn't sinking but is designed to look like it is. Kind of like the GOP looking like it is the Conservative party when it is really the UniSwamp party by design...

Of course it's just a joke.  It's not even a matter of it being "pretend" and unlikely to become law.  If it become law, it's still a joke.

Only entitlement reform can set the stage for the budget to be balanced.    And that means entitlement reform not just for the "undeserving".   Everyone's "freebies" have got to be recalibrated.   Yes, that means yours and mine.

Will Jordan speak plainly about what is required, or will he support feel-good bullhockey like all the rest?
