Chasing socialist fantasies

October 5, 2017

Peter DeFazio may represent an even district President Trump came within 0.1% of winning, but don’t tell him that. He’s too busy chasing socialist fantasies and pretending his district looks more like San Francisco or Hollywood.

Case in point? DeFazio’s latest boneheaded vote for the Progressive Caucus Budget this morning.

This budget:

  • Increases federal spending by $3.5 trillion
  • Allows states like Oregon to transition to single-payer healthcare
  • Increases the death tax, hurting Oregon farmers and ranchers
  • Imposes a carbon tax, raising the price of energy for struggling Americans
  • Gives Washington bureaucrats a pay raise

Is DeFazio really this out of tune with his district, or does he just not even care anymore?
