Tea Party conservatives are waking up to the lack of fiscal discipline by the Republican establishment over exploding deficits and another round of economic stimulus, according to The Hill.
"Just came from Progressive Democrat, whoops, I'm mean Republican caucus," Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, tweeted last week.
"The majority of Republicans are now no different than socialist Democrats when it comes to debt. They simply don't care about debt and are preparing to add at least another trillion dollars in debt this month, combined with the trillions from earlier this summer," Paul said.
Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, said "Hell no" to critical components of McConnell's next stimulus package.
GOP Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, another politician who was elected during the Tea Party movement a decade ago, told The Hill that Congress shouldn't authorize "a dime more" until "We've thoroughly taken a look at the $2.9 trillion we've already authorized" and figure out what funds have actually been spent.
Senator Rick Scott, a Florida Republican, said the pandemic "Shouldn't be used as an excuse to spend" his "State's taxpayers' hard-earned dollars" to bailout out other "Poorly managed state budgets."
Passage of the bill will drive internal strife among establishment Republicans and Tea Party members.
