Walter Jones: Onward Christian Liars

Walter Jones, the North Carolina representative who checks with god before every vote in Congress, has apparently not been checking with god before every email he sends to his constituents. Otherwise he would not be sending out patently false information using taxpayer dollars to underwrite his bullshit propaganda.

Dear Friend,

In this Congress, I serve as Vice Chairman of the Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee in the House of Representatives. Our oversight responsibilities include reviewing the activities of the Federal Reserve System.
Next Thursday, March 17th, the Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee will hold a hearing at 10AM on the topic of Monetary Policy and Rising Prices.

As you know, the Federal Reserve has been printing massive amounts of money as part of a policy they call “Quantitative Easing”. By June, the Fed will have printed roughly $2 trillion over the last two years. The Fed’s money printing is driving up prices for gas, groceries and bills of all kinds for businesses and working families. I strongly disagree with the Fed’s policy; printing money to drive up prices is hurting consumers, and it’s no way to create jobs.

This is why I want to hear from you. I would love it if you would provide me with examples of what you see happening with your bills in the real world, so that I can share them with the committee. Also, if you have ideas for specific questions you would like me to pose to the witnesses, I would love those as well.

If you have a moment, please email me through my website with your thoughts and questions for the witnesses at next week’s hearing. Please do not reply to this email, as my website is the best way for me to receive email from Eastern North Carolinians. Thanks in advance for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones
Member of Congress (NC-03)

I have some thoughts for you, Mr. Jones. Unplug your sorry ears and listen carefully to god. This is god talking, through me.

You are a charlatan and a publicity whore. The rising price of gas has nothing whatsoever to do with US monetary policy and has everything to do with the hard, physical reality of America's gluttonous folly. The coming of peak oil combined with unrest in Africa and the Middle East is the cause of today's gas prices and you bloody well know it.

Stop your god damned lying.
