Allred’s budget BS

March 28, 2019

In an interview with Dallas Weekly, Colin Allred had some soaring rhetoric about the importance of a budget, saying, “Budgets are about values. It’s a statement of values.”

So, by Allred’s standard, he and his socialist Democrat colleagues value…nothing! The Washington Post reports that House Democrats will not even propose a budget, let alone pass one, as they seek to avoid taking a vote on zany socialist ideas like the oil and gas-killing Green New Deal, socialized medicine and massive tax hikes. Looks like the only thing Allred and the socialist Democrats value is sitting on their hands and collecting a $174,000 salary.

NRCC Comment: “Since Colin Allred is so eager to opine on the importance of a federal budget, we look forward to seeing his own proposal. If a budget truly is a statement of values as Allred says, it’s clear he and his socialist Democrat colleagues have none.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera.
