I’m about to move here in the next 6 months. I’m better than you and want to have fun. What can I or we get up too. Get mad at me tell me not to come here. Or surprise me and tell me the good about Klamath. I’m an asshole.
I understand why this district has voted Republican since 1981. Smaller government, fiscal responsibility, Christian values. I understand these principles. But I've been looking at what's actually happened over the past year+ and this is not what's being delivered. These values are weak at best right now. Here's what the numbers actually show:
The tariffs were ruled illegal. The Supreme Court — not liberals, not the media, a 6-3 Supreme Court that has overwhelmingly supported Trump in recent decisions — ruled Trump's tariffs unconstitutional in February. The government now owes $166 billion in refunds to businesses that were illegally overcharged, racking up $22 million in interest every single day. Trump replaced the illegal tariffs with new ones the same week, also deemed illegal. Prices stayed up. The deficit still grew by $250 billion this year despite collecting record tariff revenue, and the deficit will grow further when taxpayers pay back these illegal tariffs. That's fiscal irresponsibility, and taxpayers will bear the brunt of these poor decisions.
We're paying for a war that didn't have to happen. $29 billion and counting. Gas over $4.50/gallon — up $1.30 since February. In 2018, Trump pulled out of the deal that was keeping Iran's nuclear program under strict inspection and hard limits. After he left, Iran accelerated its enrichment and got closer to a bomb than it had ever been while the deal was in place. The war we're now funding — with our tax dollars, troop lives, and money in our wallets at the pump — was made significantly more likely by that 2018 decision. When asked last week how much Americans' finances motivated him to end it, Trump said on camera: "Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody." He was asked about it on Fox News and said: "That's a perfect statement. I'd make it again."
Cliff Bentz voted with all of it. Every single time. He is not leading. He is a sheep. He is showing he does not care about fiscal responsibility or veterans. He voted yes on the Big Beautiful Bill — which independent analysis shows will cut healthcare for up to 70% of children in this district. He voted yes anyway. He's canceled his town halls. He won't take the Vote Smart political positions survey. He's the only person in Congress representing us, and he's made himself hard to reach while voting to cut the programs rural Oregon depends on most.
I'm not asking you to vote a certain way, but please vote for your values. If your reason for voting Republican is fiscal responsibility and straight talk — it's worth asking whether that's what we're actually getting.
