We’ve all heard the phrase, “Put your money where your mouth is.” It’s meant to push someone to put some skin in the game. But there’s another way of looking at it as well. How dedicated to an idea can you be if you’re not willing to put something of value on the line? What we put us not on says a lot about who we are and what our priorities are. For example, you may say you want to save for the future, but if you spend your money on expensive vacations, you show that you prioritize enjoyment today over tomorrow. I’m not saying that’s wrong, but it shows where your priorities are.
Politicians, however, don’t put their money where their mouths are. They put ours. With the release of the recent House spending bill, we can see the priorities of their members, and it sure doesn’t match what they’ve been saying. The same can be said for what’s being done at the border, in our cities & states, and even in our rhetoric. So let’s take a look at these situations and see if our representatives in government have been putting our money where their mouths are.
