Hageman | H001096 | hageman.house.gov | hageman | https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement on the impending government shutdown: “In the 118th Congress, the House has passed four of twelve appropriations bills to fund the government for FY2024. These bills cut government spending significantly, end woke policies in these federal agencies, fund our military and border security operations, and bring us closer to responsibly lowering our obscene national debt. In contrast, the Democrat-led Senate attempted to pass three appropriations bills but quickly failed and has not passed any other government funding since. I am disappointed that Congress has not moved quicker and that we have not passed all twelve bills, but good government can be a messy process. “To provide us with time to pass all remaining appropriations bills, I voted in favor of the Spending Reduction and Border Security Enhancement Act, to keep the government open through October 31st, 2023. The bill will reduce spending to FY2022 levels while holding defense, veterans, and homeland security funding at current levels and taking a 30% cut to other discretionary programs for 30 days. The Spending Reduction and Border Security Enhancement Act will permanently secure the border by including the majority of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, and create a bi-cameral fiscal commission to identify policies to improve America’s fiscal state. “Finally, it will be up to the Biden Administration to decide whether they want this government shutdown to have minimal impact on all our lives, or if they want to inflict maximum pain while we work to pass all appropriations bills for FY2024. For example, our National Parks can and should remain open in a limited capacity with fee revenue. Senator Barrasso has made this clear in a letter to the Department of the Interior last week, and I stand with him. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
