WASHINGTON - Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the Defense Subcommittee. The bill will be considered tomorrow, June 15th at 10:00 a.m. The markup will be closed.
As we begin debate on the subcommittee allocations, I would like to set the stage for how we got where we are today.
I'll start with some background. I mentioned yesterday that during the last Congress, more than three trillion dollars was spent outside of the annual appropriations process. Government spending increased, and inflation soared. That is why we have no choice but to reduce spending where we can.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 34 to 27.
As we begin our first full committee markup for Fiscal Year 2024, I want to take a moment to remind everyone what happened with government spending the last two years and explain the challenges this Committee now has ahead of us.
During the previous congress, three trillion dollars were spent outside of the normal appropriations process.
As spending sky-rocketed, so did inflation.
There was damage done to the economy, and the work of this Committee changed significantly over those two years.
