NC’s congressional Republicans sell out party platform, voters, future generations
The folks we send to DC are about as bad as the ones we send to Jones Street. 
We’ve got an astronomical national debt that is strangling our economy and setting up a major disaster for us in later years, for our children, and our grandchildren. The alleged conservative party in charge of the US House could have made a strong statement about cutting spending before taking on more debt and further burdening future generations. But they had their sugar-daddy Kevin McCarthy and all those cash-peddling lobbyists to please.
When you see the Biden White House AND Chuck Schumer gleefully giggling over a bill, you can safely assume that legislation is not good for real, average Americans. The debt ceiling extension passed the House 314-117.
Republicans split 149-71 on the bill. Dan Bishop (R) was the ONLY North Carolinian in the US House to vote NO. (NO was the correct vote on this travesty.)
Democrats split 165-46. Deborah Ross (D-NC) did not vote. (Surely, she would have been a YES.) All other Dems from the state voted YES.
Here is the whole kit-and-kaboodle — including the roll call — on the House vote. The Senate is up next. So we have to count on Tillis and Budd.
God help us.
it is time to leave the USA no reason to stay here anymore
NC as well?
Seems we have NO representation??
WHO voted and sent ANY of the Yea members to Congress to support THIS bill??
Seems as DC goes these days, so does NC.
I find NO rep in NC that meets my objectives, goals, principles, conservancy. No, not one!
We can run, but cannot hide. It’s better to stay and take a stand.
One scalp that should be taken in this fiasco is that of the author of this shameful sell out, Patrick McHenry. We need to find a credible conservative challenger who can raise enough money to get McHenry’s miserable record out and nail him with it in the primary. McHenry sold Republicans, taxpayers, and indeed America down the river in this rotten deal with Biden. McHenry’s record, and especially what he did on this bill, is what the military would call a “target rich environment”. Indeed, a challenger could build his campaign around what McHenry did on this one bill.
