It explodes the spending caps, balloons the deficit and betrays conservatives and the Constitution,\u201d said Stockman.\n\u201cHere in the House the only tool at our disposal is our vote.\u00a0 It is up to the Senate to stop this. Conservative senators must use every unique legislative tool the Senate allows to block this bill. Americans will be watching to see who leads, and who follows the D.C. establishment by allowing a vote,\u201d said Stockman.\n\u201cThis deal is absolutely not an incremental step to lower spending. It increases spending.\u00a0 And it makes Obama\u2019s exploding deficits and budgets the official policy of the Republican Party.\u00a0 We will be watching to see which senators use the Senate\u2019s rule to block this bill,\u201d said Stockman.\n-30-", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140221081226/http://stockman.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/stockman-will-vote-no-on-budget-deal-urges-senators-to-block-vote"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7535439692437649, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
