The Inflation Reduction Act has upped our debt over seven trillion. Senator Tester actually voted for this. It has increased inflation as have the other trillions poured into the US by the Biden Admin. Tester meets, greets, and talks but doesn’t really commit to anything. I want to know why Medicare Advantage is being cut $307 billion and that money is going into green energy projects. Biden said he would not cut Social Security, yet this huge cut affects millions of elderly citizens. Rest homes are closing in Montana and throughout the USA while the Biden Admin sends billions to Ukraine. Where is Tester when this is happening? And I might add, where are our Republican reps? Small hospitals are closing, and the elderly and families are struggling to survive. Medical care and Medicare are critical yet $307 Billion cut?
Now a bit about Tester being this Montana Farmer: His net worth is between $1,768,009 and $6,695,000, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data from 2021. And once in a great while a Montana family can afford to eat out, but no problem for Senator Tester: The spending by the Montana Democrat, who announced last month that he would seek re-election for a fourth term in the Senate, includes $31,000 at Morton’s Steakhouse, highlighted by the Free Beacon as a “Washington mainstay where eight-ounce steaks run $53 and margaritas cost $35 a pop.” During his Senate career, Tester has also spent heavily at swanky places like Del Frisco’s steakhouse and RPM Italian, spending $8,100 and $6,000 at each restaurant, respectively. Additionally, the Tester campaign has indulged at Bistro Cacao, where Tester has spent $15,745, and Bistro Bis, an upscale French restaurant where he’s spent more than $9,000. This info is online so available to anyone.
