WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement after voting no on the Democrats’ $1.7 Trillion 4,000 + page spending spree:
“I was proud to vote no on Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Leader Chuck Schumer’s latest $1.7 Trillion spending spree. Democrats have once again proven themselves incapable of crafting a responsible fiscal agenda that meets the needs of hardworking families. Despite the American people entrusting Republicans with control of the House, which takes effect in just over one week, we were shut out of these negotiations. Speaker Pelosi’s last hoorah is another reckless spending package that makes inflation even worse, fails to address the border crisis, and prioritizes green energy lobbyists over American oil and gas workers.”
