With a $23 trillion national debt, this 2,313-page spending package that Congressional leaders unveiled just days ago represents everything Americans hate about Washington.
Though there are several good provisions included in the final bills that I was proud to fight for, including a well-deserved pay raise for our men and women in uniform and additional support for our Armed Forces & veterans...
…this $1.4 trillion spending monstrosity plunges our nation further into debt– spending taxpayer $ on priorities of lobbyists & Dems at the expense of the American people, from funding Planned Parenthood, sanctuary cities & Obamacare, to raising the tobacco purchasing age to 21.
This ridiculous, rushed, end-of-year spending process, year after year, is an example of government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, and for the lobbyists.
Instead of funding Dems' priorities, we should be fighting for the priorities of the American people, like providing families with more educational opportunities, securing our border and reducing the burden of federal taxes & regulations on workers, families & local job creators.
These are the priorities I will continue to fight for in the Senate.
