The Fiscal Irresponsibility Of Texas Republicans

Waste, Walls, And Mismanagement: The truth about Texas Republicans' reckless spending.

The legislative budget board just added a fiscal note to the voucher scheme bill, HB1. This scheme is estimated to cost Texas taxpayers $25 billion over the next five years. It’s important to note that vouchers will only be available to 1% of Texas’ 5.5 million children.

It’s hard to contextualize how much money $1 billion is, let alone $25 billion. If you were to count one dollar per second, it would take you 32 years to count to $1 billion.

This bill is awful and a wasteful use of our hard earned tax dollars. Over the last decade, we’ve seen a repeating pattern of wasteful spending by the Texas government on its culture war issues. Yet, all I hear from politicians, right-wing media, and the loudmouths that parrot them is how Democrats are not fiscally responsible.

That’s complete bullshit.

2. One just cannot confuse republicans

with facts. Facts mean nothing to them.
If they can't get it from that thing between their ears, they get it from something more useless, newsmax, fox, or some other rwnj source.

abbott and the other stooges need to go, I don't care how.

Well played, well played TX Republican voters! Hey, let the upper class dominate you for years.....until we D's finally slay the monster and we take over.....we hope.
