First of all, does anyone understand why the head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt, continues to have his position. If he was a Democrat, he would have been fired weeks ago, and Republicans would still be screaming about him on FOX Noise. Instead he continues to waste taxpayer dollars in the amount of tens-of-thousands of dollars each month. His ‘pleasure trip’ to Italy cost taxpayers more than $120,000. Pruitt continues to use his position to tour the world, not to conduct EPA business.

A new crime was revealed by the EPA. Last August Pruitt used a Blackhawk helicopter to visit a coal mine in Booneville, Indiana. Was this necessary? Hell no. Booneville is a 15 minute drive from Evansville, which has a large airport. Pruitt is living his dream life and using your money. The cost of operating this type of military aircraft is $25,000 per hour. Pruitt frequently travels on military aircraft. A small jet costs more than $32,000 per hour to operate.

How long will hypocritical “conservatives” allow Trump and his circle of sinners to spend hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars to maintain their lives of luxury and privilege? Trump and his family spend more than $16,000,000 each month. Trump’s golf trips and weekly excursions to Mar-a-Lago require the use of Air Force One. The cost of operating the president’s plane is about $200,000 per hour.

Finally, Trump’s “tax reform” will increase the deficit by at least $1.8 trillion. Is this the same Republican Party which constantly criticized President Obama for eight years? The word is fully descriptive, and it is spelled ‘H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.

Republicans must go. Think about this on November 6^th.
