Patrick McHenry Lies to Constituents about CBO Statement
According to Patrick McHenry at his little self-promoting town halls, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the American Clean Energy and Security Act would cost Americans $1,400 annually. This was a lie. In fact, the CBO stated it would only be $175 anally. That’s a big difference.
Ironically, this was stated to his very constituents in a way to convince them- among other things- he knows what’s going on in Congress. Though we may not agree with/support the American Clean Energy and Security Act, lying to your constituents is unacceptable, period.
