Excellent comment by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN):
Today I voted against another spending bill that didn’t cut a single cent in federal spending. It adds a trillion dollars to our debt, spends at the same level as when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, and funds the Biden-Harris White House’s open borders, America Last agenda.
Nearly 60% of Hoosiers say they are driving less to save money on gas and families in Indiana are struggling to cover everyday expenses more than in any other state in the Midwest.
I will not go along with inflationary, Biden-Harris spending that has already made it impossible for working families to make ends meet. Now that this CR has failed, I hope that Speaker Johnson will put a spending bill on the floor that cuts spending and includes the SAVE Act.
Today I voted against another spending bill that didn’t cut a single cent in federal spending.
The interest on the Fed debt is over a trillion dollars. Gotta start cutting somewhere, please! Not just a single cent, but billions of dollars. We can all name items for Congress to cut, but those ah*les just spend even more. Maybe we can ask our allies for donations... /s
I just wrote to my Rep asking him why he did NOT vote against this monstrosity.
Indeed. It’s a good thing President Trump is a fiscal conservative. I’m sure he’ll cut an even better deal with a likely Democrat Speaker in his second term.
Any chance at meaningfully changing spending is contingent on control of the Presidency and Congress. Winning the election has to be prioritized, because if the Dems hold the Presidency and win Congress, things are only going to get worse.
Win the election, and we at least have the chance to make changes. Whether Trump and a MAGA Congress will actually cut spending is a much different question, but at least it won't be the Democrats driving the bus.
And if anyone thinks that Republicans shutting down the government is going to help Republicans win this election...they need to quit chewing on those wacky mushrooms.
They will still pass a bill. They will just remove the save act. The complaints about defense spending are all a gambit to support illegal immigrants voting. Its not about substance.
Speaker Hakeem Johnson is a fraud that can’t be trusted.
Fed.gov hasn’t had a real budget in something like 22 years
Good
If passing the SAVE Act is the priority, then why not vote on it as a stand alone bill?
Why is this good?
They wanted to attach the Save Act to the bill. The Save Act was attached to the bill and it was vetoed?
I don’t understand. Don’t we want the Save Act in there?
