Livid with CMR

When I see a picture of Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, I’m totally livid because of the following reasons:

- The $1.5 trillion increase to the national debt caused by the new tax code from the GOP which gives permanent tax breaks to the wealthy and temporary ones to the rest of us. U.S. billionaire Warren Buffett summed it up perfectly, saying “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

- The complicity of silence to the corruption in the current administration. Check out Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Pruitt’s actions. Secretary Pruitt is a totally corrupt swamp monster.

- The absolute lies about “trickle-down economics.” It doesn’t work for the regular wage earner and she knows it! The average hourly wage paid to key groups of American workers has fallen from last year when accounting for inflation. This is not the results promised to America by Trump, especially for the 40 percent of Americans that have a negative net worth and no financial safety net.

It is time for a ‘House cleaning’ in November. Make it happen by voting for Lisa Brown.
