The newest Members of Congress are sworn in on January 3rd, 2023 when the First Session of the 118th United States Congress convenes.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 2617, an omnibus appropriations package to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year.
First, I have concerns about the size and scope of this package.
It totals almost $2 trillion, and it comes after nearly $3 trillion of spending was pushed through this Congress.
This $3 trillion was enacted completely outside of the normal process and many programs received staggering increases.
This record-high spending has been a key driver of inflation.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to this short-term continuing resolution through December 23rd.
I am very disappointed that we are once again discussing a CR because full-year appropriations bills have not been signed into law.
I want to explain why we find ourselves in this place.
Republican Members opposed the trillions of dollars in non-defense spending that Members on the other side of the aisle pushed through this Congress.
