This will be Congressman Griffith’s first term on the Committee.

Stop spending money on new agencies. The immigration plans are going to be expensive. Talking about cutting taxes for the businesses while making the people who can least afford it pay more for everything.
Trump plans to designate cryptocurrency as a national priority.
Appointing a new Crypto board. Crypto appointments in key positions and kicking the brakes off any regulations. Many of the regulations are part of the 2001 Patriots Act to protect Americans. What happened to the Republicans who didn’t want digital currency?
Bitcoin is hosting a $2500 per person black tie party to celebrate on January 17. I am sure most of you from SWVA will be attending.
He has already charged us for new DOGE headed by two billionaires with conflicts of interest getting paid on the front end and the back end. Congress’ job is to manage the budgets of the federal government. Griffith and the Republican led 119th Congress are fine with Musk and Ramaswamy doing the job they were elected to do.
The Republican led 118th Congress was the most ineffective until the 119th was sworn in. Here we go.

We’ve already seen and heard Morgan’s agenda and who he fawns over. He’s easily manipulated for power of position. I saw this coming a million miles away. He has always done what Trump asked. Those that have worshipped Trump to gain power in our government are getting what they want. It has little to do with the common man. Morgan had done very little for our area.

“America First agenda” I have seen so far includes extending a tax cut for the 1% with no way to pay for it. Increasing the debt. Decreasing the debt by cutting funds from departments we pay into to be there when we need them. For example, I don’t need subsidies to pay my health insurance but if I did, I have paid taxes for it to be there. Same with food stamps.
America First should be all Americans from the bottom to the top. The top doesn’t need anymore handouts on the backs of the rest of us.
