The United States has faced insurmountable debt for years, and unfortunately, it has gotten to the point where the American people now believe it will never be remedied. Future generations will bear the brunt of wasteful spending that we’ve become all too accustomed to accept, and it should never be that way. Sadly, Democrats in Congress are set to take up a $1.9 trillion taxpayer-funded shopping spree that’s been proposed by the Biden Administration. The train has gone off the tracks here in Washington, and you won’t believe what’s hidden in this proposal. Hardworking taxpayers and families must be respected, and this new stimulus package is just another textbook definition of wasteful government spending. Click here to find out more about what’s in Biden’s $1.9 trillion plan.
Will this “rescue plan” help safely reopen schools? Will it empower America’s workforce? Will it move the economy in the right direction? Those questions all receive a resounding answer: NO. What’s staggering is that the appetite for more spending in Washington never ceases. Congress passed two massive relief packages in 2020, and now there are calls for more money to be spent even when the impacts of that relief are still being assessed.
In Congress, I’ve put my money where my mouth is. I led a revolt on the House floor against the big bank “TARP bailout” in 2009. I’ve introduced the only comprehensive bill in Congress to rein in “mandatory” spending – the Spending Safeguard Act. And I cosponsored and voted for the largest rescissions package in history, the Spending Cuts to Expired and Unnecessary Programs Act. When it comes to even the smallest iota of wasteful spending, I will always speak up in strong opposition.
Rest assured, I will continue to fight against misguided proposals and policies that put your hard-earned dollars and livelihood at risk.
Save The Hyde Amendment!
This week, I was proud to join 199 of my colleagues in sending a letter to Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader Schumer, and Leader McConnell demanding that the Hyde Amendment and other current-law, pro-life appropriations provisions remain protected from Washington Democrat repeal efforts. The sanctity of life must be respected, and I will always serve as a strong voice against any efforts that run contrary to the preservation and protection of life. Here’s an excerpt from our letter:
“The Hyde Amendment alone has saved the lives of over 2 million innocent babies and continues to protect the conscience rights of a vast majority of Americans opposed to publicly funded abortions. We cannot allow the Hyde Amendment and other important pro-life safeguards to be decimated by Congressional Democrats.
Accordingly, we pledge to vote against any government funding bill that eliminates or weakens the Hyde Amendment or other current-law, pro-life appropriations provisions.”
