Romney Says He Didn’t Trust GOP-Controlled House To Craft A Budget

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said Thursday that he backed a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill because he did not trust House Republicans to handle crafting a budget in light of Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California’s difficult campaign for speaker of the House.

“House Republicans say that they want to craft a budget, but they haven’t yet been able to select a speaker,” Romney said, referencing the fact that several House Republicans came out in opposition to McCarthy’s bid for speaker. Romney noted it would be very difficult to sort out budgets for the current fiscal year and the following fiscal year.

“Even if they could take on those two things at the same time, it would need Democrats in the Senate to pass it,” Romney said, claiming that the resulting compromise legislation would end up at a higher number than the $1.7 trillion in the bill. Romney noted that entitlement spending was twice the amount of the omnibus bill.

Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona launched an unsuccessful challenge to McCarthy for the nomination of the House Republican caucus to serve as speaker of the House, losing by a 188-31 vote on Nov. 15. Biggs announced Dec. 6 he would still run for the post in spite of McCarthy being the Republican nominee.

“McCarthy is so weak he’ll promise anything to anyone,” Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz wrote for the Daily Caller News Foundation.

I don't have words to describe my loathing of Mitt Romney!

Heckuva thing for a U.S. Senator to say when the Constitution clearly calls for all appropriation bills to originate in the House of Representatives.

Yeah! Someone who didn't know better might get the idea that they don't care what the constitution says.

They are a duly elected body where spending bills are supposed to originate, so to deliberately circumvent them is tantamount to a coup. Treason, sedition, and insurrection and all that.

'Well they're a bunch of losers' may work on the cheerleading squad, but for Dirty Mitts it's just grasping for cover to try and escape the reality that he's just a woke Marxist bootlicker like the rest of the Rats.

As much as I despise Mitt, I have to agree with his statement here.  I don't trust House Republicans either.

Support? Unfortunately, it was that or vote for worse.
But I have noticed the lesser evils have become progressively more evil.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

While protesting outside a McCain event near Atlanta in 2008 with a sign which read "McCain has sold us out", I received decent exposure to Ron Paul zealots who were also there protesting McCain.  Those young people definitely earned my respect.  Fiercely pro-life.

Mitt has often fully supported democrats at critical times, but openly says he doesn't trust Republicans.  Obviously Mitt is a democrat hiding among-st the Republicans to subvert the Republicans at choice times to benefit democrats.

Mittens did to the LDS as he did (does) to the GOP.
