| https://mcadams.house.gov/media/press-releases/mcadams-votes-against-bloated-five-bill-spending-package | McAdams votes against bloated, five-bill spending package | 2019-06-26 | 2019 | 2019-06 | Democrat | House | UT | Ben McAdams | M001209 | mcadams.house.gov | legacy | Washington DCCongressman Ben McAdams voted against a measure increasing spending by more than $27 billion over last year's levels. McAdams said the second minibus spending measure (H.R. 3055) would give agencies and programs covered in the bill about $383 billion in fiscal year 2020. Another day, another enormous deficit-growing bill that lacks accountable budget decision-making. I laid out what would be required for me to vote for a government spending bill and this doesn't tackle the revenue or spending side, said McAdams. McAdams has consistently said that Republicans and Democrats must come together, agree on a responsible budget blueprint and then start the difficult discussion of choosing where to spend precious taxpayer dollars. Instead, he said the House has been pushing ahead without any agreement on next year's discretionary spending. We're lining up $1 trillion-a- year deficits as far as the eye can see. We need to stop thinking that we can continue business-as-usual in Washington and get a different outcome. Utahns deserve better, said McAdams. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
