Dem Rep. Becca Balint Doesn't Think Elon Musk "Has The Right" To Weigh In On The Porky Spending Bill

Posted • December 19, 2024: One of the funniest things about the reaction of the Democrats and the anti-Trump crew to losing the continuing resolution battle is their effort to blame Elon Musk for it. They are just melting down at him and claiming an "unelected billionaire" is controlling things. -- Rep. Becca Balint @RepBeccaB: “Elon Musk is not an elected official. He's been elected to nothing and has no place inserting himself like he’s the president when Congress is trying to get disaster relief to those who need it.” -- First, anyone, including a billionaire can weigh in on this, and guess what, Rep. Balint? You're supposed to serve us. We all get a say, not just "elected" officials. This shows the fundamental failure to understand their position -- they work for us, we don't work for them. They don't get to dictate. They're mad at Musk because he has a big platform to speak from and the ear of President-elect Trump. But he's also speaking on behalf of all of us.

People were flooding X and members of Congress, telling them not to vote for the CR because of all the ridiculous pork and bad things in it. That's how the system is supposed to work; that's a good thing. If Democrats really cared about passing the bill for "disaster relief" as they claim, they don't need to pass all the pork, too -- they can just present a clean bill to vote on, with just that. They're the bad guys here because they want to use people in trouble to get this monstrosity passed, to get themselves raises. Meanwhile, the folks in North Carolina are still suffering in the cold right now, with the Biden team missing in action. Musk also probably has paid more taxes than any of us, so if any taxpayer has a right to weigh in, he certainly does. Plus, it's his job, as the newly appointed co-head of DOGE, to be looking into waste and idiocies in government and this certainly was a huge idiocy. He should be commenting on it.

Democrats didn't have a problem with George Soros' involvement in government, or his son Alex's, or any other wealthy Democrat donors. Funny about that. And speaking of funny, here's Rep. Becca Balint's bio on X: “Mom, Teacher, Vermonter, Writer & Congresswoman for VT, fighting for working families. @HouseJudiciary & @HouseBudgetDems. She/Her. Official. 🏳️‍🌈🏔️🏍️🍁” (…)
