In a free market, the only way to make a dollar is to figure out what somebody else needs and provide it for them better than they can provide it for themselves.
Thomas McClintock
The Public Record
Thomas Miller McClintock is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 5th congressional district since 2009. A member of the Republican Party, he has been an advocate for limited government and fiscal conservatism throughout his political career. McClintock has focused on issues such as tax reform, environmental policy, and government spending. He previously served in the California State Assembly and as a member of the California State Senate, where he gained recognition for his commitment to conservative principles.
the sheer size of spending is unprecedented, both in its amount and as a percentage of GDP.
So, if Congress isn't using that authority, it's not the Federal agency's fault; it's a matter of congressional neglect.
We do have bipartisan agreement that the Senate doesn't work fast enough as it is now.
To hear what we're hearing in the rhetoric today, these Federal agencies are running roughshod over Congress and there's nothing Congress can do about it.
It's my understanding that the REINS Act could undo multiple major rules, including many that keep our kids safe.
without Congress' neglect, without Congress' failure to act, we wouldn't be dealing with the REINS Act right now.
As set forth by our Constitution, binding rules should come from politically accountable elected representatives, not from the Administrative State.
In the words of James Madison, the accumulation of all powers. Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.
Ultimately, Congress needs to reestablish itself, not government agencies, as the main driver of Federal policy.
