WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher released the following statement today regarding his vote against the spending package.
“32 hours before the vote, a 1,012-page package of spending bills was released for first-time review:
The total is $1.2 trillion, but the American border remains open. In this bill, taxpayer dollars are appropriated to expand FBI facilities, support transgender treatments within the DOD, and fund facilities that provide late-term abortion. There’s even some money for the World
Health Organization and the Wuhan lab… but there’s nothing in the bill to curb inflation.
We are $34 trillion in debt. We need to cut wasteful spending and encourage economic growth. This bill does the opposite. I voted no.”
