Barry Moore: Short-term spending bill represents fundamental failure by Democrat-led Congress to do its job | 2021-12-02 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Republican | House | AL | Barry Moore | M001212 | barrymoore.house.gov | barrymoore | https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) issued the following statement after voting against a short-term spending bill to extends current spending levels through February 18, 2022. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration. Moore has previously opposed continuing resolutions (CRs) that damage our military’s critical long-term planning ability and fail to address evolving issues addressing the nation. The government is currently being funded by a CR passed by Congress in September. “Democrats have been so focused on sticking the American people with their radical tax-and-spend agenda that they have once again neglected to perform the basic role of government,” said Moore. “Not only does this spending bill represent another fundamental failure by this Democrat-led Congress to do its job, but it allows the Biden administration’s reckless and dangerous vaccine mandates to be funded. Instead of forcing her radical agenda on America through constant manufactured financial cliff brinksmanship, Speaker Pelosi needs to address the multiple real crises facing American families, like rising crime, increasing inflation, our broken supply chain, and the worsening border fiasco.” H.R. 6119 continues appropriations at current levels until February 18, 2022, with limited exceptions. The legislation also provides $7 billion to assist in the resettlement of Afghan refugees, however, fails to address concerns raised on the last CR related to insufficient documentation during the verification process for Afghan refugees. Also hidden in the bill is $1.6 billion allocated for unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally crossed the southern border. The text of the legislation was not made available for members to review until 8:00 a.m. this morning. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
