Say one thing do another

The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.

Those who represent Iowans in congress have all stated the dire need to reduce the national debt.

Those same representatives have all stated they are in favor of the $1.5 Trillion in budget cuts for $3.8 trillion in tax breaks.

You can’t take a believable position on wanting to reduce the debt and then add to the debt with the current budget plan put forth.

Any dollar of waste fraud and abuse should pay down the debt, not be converted to tax cuts for billionaires or anyone else.
