On this Labor Day we want to thank you, Senator Mike Lee, for working so hard to keep government spending down.
Even though its been said that 2/3 of the money in government spending bills is mandatory, Mike Lee does not take that final1/3 for granted. He works diligently to try to make sure that each dollar spent is either for the benefit of the people or it is not spent at all. He is a champion against wasteful spending.
It’s not just we seniors who have noticed. Over the weekend, The National Taxpayers Union awarded Senator Lee as the most “taxpayer friendly representative in congress” He received a 95% score and an “A” grade, the highest of any member of Congress.
According to their website, this is how their grading system works:
“The Taxpayer Score can range between zero and 100. We do not expect anyone to score a 100, nor has any legislator ever scored a perfect 100—without missing a single vote—in the decades-long history of the comprehensive NTU scoring system. A high score does not mean that the member of Congress was opposed to all spending or all programs. High-scoring members have indicated that they would vote for many programs if the amount of spending were lower or if the spending were offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget. Indeed, a member who still wants to increase spending on some programs can achieve a high score if he or she votes for offsetting cuts. A zero score would indicate that the member of Congress approved every spending increase and opposed every pro-taxpayer reform.”

Thank you Senator Lee, for taking such care over the taxpayer’s dollars, and we congratulate you on your recognition.
Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.
Thank you for visiting and have a happy Labor Day! Please visit us again on Saturday, September 16, for a special celebration of the birthday of our Constitution on September 17.
