GOP Rep. Flood: I Was Surprised I Got Booed at My Town Hall After Saying We Need to Balance the Budget

EXCERPT:

FLOOD: “Well, just the first part of your question there, what really surprised me last night, and you just played a clip of it, I’m glad you did, when I said we need to balance the budget, that’s not a red issue or a blue issue. That’s an American issue. And I was somewhat surprised at the pushback on saying that we need to balance our budget. You know, the state of Nebraska does that. A lot of states do that. It’s absolutely something we have to do or the problems we’re talking about today, they compound themselves by 100 times. At the end of the day, I did get a lot of questions about DOGE. I got a lot of questions about the process. And, you know, somebody asked me afterwards, you know, what do you think is going on here? And I said, well, people don’t like change. People don’t like change. President Trump was elected in November. We’ve seen a lot of change, you know, in the White House. And he’s got a very healthy agenda, that has a lot of people riled up.”
