Our Congressman, Scott Tipton, has voted with Trump over 95 percent of the time. It seems that he is happy with our becoming the worst nation on earth in environmental protection for future generations. He is proud of how his party just raided the Treasury for a massive giveaway primarily to the rich amounting to $1.3 trillion, raising the deficit to $1 trillion by 2020. Every cent of that will have to be paid by the upcoming generations.
Now he supports a new bill that could add $2 trillion to the federal deficit over a decade.
He remains silent as Trump reverses the role of federal agencies that protected our citizens and environment so that they now protect corporations.
He has been unwilling to counter the president and his nonsense declarations like saying the Justice Department shouldn’t be investigating or charging Republicans.
Electing Diane Mitsch Bush will help bring more diversity to Congress by defending on issues such as health care, the environment and women’s rights. She will work to expand health care availability and not vote dozens of times to take away health insurance from the millions now insured under Obamacare.
