Several Republican Representatives have publicly voiced their opposition to a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) aimed at maintaining current government spending levels. Citing the nation's $34 trillion debt and the issue of over 10 million people having illegally crossed the southern border, these lawmakers argue that continuing to fund the government without addressing the underlying fiscal challenges is irresponsible. Representatives Greg Steube, Andy Biggs, Brecheen, Bost, Hageman, McCormick, Ken Buck, and Roger Marshall expressed concerns over the unsustainable debt and the lack of efforts to secure the southern border or control government spending. The opposition to the CR highlights a broader concern among these members about the fiscal direction of the country and the need for more stringent budgetary measures.
We are over $34T in debt, and still, there have been no meaningful efforts taken by Congress to reverse course. This is irresponsible and highlights how out of touch D.C. is with hardworking Americans. Where I'm from when ends don't meet, we hunker down, shrink spending and…
I voted against the CR because it fails to tackle our out of control government spending. Every week that goes by without addressing this issue head on is a week that our $34 trillion debt continues to grow. The more we spend today, the greater our interest payments tomorrow.
Our nation is 34 trillion dollars in debt and over 10 million people have illegally crossed our southern border. Both problems are unsustainable and threaten the safety, security, and very future of our country. https://t.co/s0jitB1oVY
I was a hard NO on today’s CR. We cannot continue to go down this road of spending money we don’t have. Our children and grandchildren are already $34 trillion in debt and that number only continues to climb the longer we extend continuing resolutions. We have to rein in…
Just voted NO on the short-term CR to keep Washington spending at current levels. We can't afford the status quo.
I could not in good conscience support today’s CR. We are more than $34 trillion in debt and our entire discretionary budget is now based on borrowed monies as mandatory spending and annual interest on the debt consumes all revenue.
A short CR is still a CR. We are $34 trillion in debt and spending ourselves into oblivion. I will be voting no.
I reject this CR. Again. America is $34 trillion in debt. That number is nearly unfathomable. We can't continue funding an administration that refuses to secure our border. https://t.co/fpTF4KeWBU
