Representative Roy, let’s stop pretending you’re some poor bastard stuck on the sidelines. You and your party have the majority in Congress. You’re not just along for the ride—you’re at the wheel, slamming on the brakes every time someone tries to steer us toward a smarter, cleaner future. So when you start pointing fingers at “the government” or blaming Democrats for this climate shitshow, it’s not just lazy—it’s an insult to everyone with half a brain.
Right now, you’re in charge. You’ve got the numbers, the committees, and the power to actually do something. Instead, you’re voting for cuts that gut clean energy, climate action, and basic public services. These aren’t just talking points—they’re real, and they’re screwing over regular Americans. If things are broken, it’s because you and your crew are swinging the sledgehammer.
You love to rant about “big government” and how Democrats are the root of all evil, but let’s be honest: both parties have dropped the ball on energy and climate for years. The difference is, you’re the one holding the ball now, and you’re running it straight into a brick wall. Instead of investing in the future, you’re hacking away at the very programs that could get us off the foreign oil teat. You bitch about government waste, but your cuts are gutting the agencies that protect our communities and our future.
Meanwhile, America keeps pissing away billions every year for foreign oil. In 2022 alone, we racked up a crude oil trade deficit of nearly $88 billion. That’s our money fattening the wallets of foreign regimes and oil barons, instead of building jobs and clean energy here at home. The three biggest U.S. oil companies paid over $42 billion to foreign governments last year—eight times what they paid here. That’s a hell of a lot of American cash bleeding out because we can’t get our act together.
So, Representative Roy, you’re in power, you’re voting for these cuts, and you’re shaping the future—whether you want to admit it or not. If you’re serious about “accountability,” start by looking in the mirror. The buck stops with you, right now, with every vote you cast and every program you gut.
If you actually want to fix America’s energy addiction and do something about climate change, stop hacking away at the programs that matter and start leading like someone who gives a damn about the country, not just your next campaign donation. Otherwise, you’re just another politician dodging responsibility while the rest of us are left to clean up the mess.
