Dem Gov Candidate Jared Polis Says One Thing In Washington, But Does Another In Colorado

Colorado Democrat gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis is proving that his words are just more empty rhetoric.

In a recent speech in Congress, Polis lectured others about “massive spending” increases and fiscal responsibility, warning against the “path to mortgaging the future of my children and yours.”

But, Polis’ recently discovered concern about government spending and fiscal responsibility directly conflicts with the message of his own gubernatorial campaign. On the campaign trail, Polis has repeatedly proposed massive spending increases, while refusing to say how much they would cost or how he would pay for them.

A few weeks ago, Polis admitted he hadn’t “come up with a way of funding” his big spending early childhood education proposal.

Shortly before that, Polis attempted to dodge an undecided voter’s question about how he would pay for his radical far-left plans, including single-payer, by saying he doesn’t “know the answers.”

Polis has even tried to distance himself from his own energy plan, after being confronted with a study finding it would cost an astronomical $45 billion, by claiming he had no “serious proposals” to implement it.

Coloradans deserve better than a typical politician, who says one thing in Washington, but does another in Colorado.
