Rep. Roy's question to Congress: "If you can't print money…what would you do?"
December 6, 2024
WASHINGTON, DC — On Friday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) joined WMAL to recap Congress’ meeting with DOGE’s Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and how Republicans must unite to cut swamp spending.
Key quotes from the interview are below and the interview clip is available here:
- “But the point I made yesterday in the meeting to my colleagues and I made it to Elon…You’ve been looking for the problem, look no further than this room, because Congress has been the one that has been funding this nonsense. Congress is the one that's supposed to do oversight.”
- "I've said to my colleagues: if you can't print money — if literally it was banned today — what would you do?"
- “We need the [spending] waste cutting, but we need Congress to grow a spine.”
- “Republicans need to look in the mirror. They need to look at their constituents and they need to deliver… There's no more money. We can't keep printing.”
