Lloyd Smucker released the following statement after voting against H.Res.601, which included language to enact a $3.5 trillion socialist budget: "President Joe Biden's, Senator Bernie Sanders' and Speaker Pelosi's socialist $3.5 trillion ‘budget' is an insult to the American taxpayer. The radical, left-wing Democrat Party is on the brink of massively and permanently increasing the size and scope of the federal government and Americans' dependency on big government. Their plan to spend $68 trillion over the next ten years threatens the freedoms and opportunities we all enjoy today; continuing on this destructive path will bankrupt future generations. The Democrat budget will raise taxes on middle-class Americans and small businesses, and every American will see higher bills at the grocery store and at the gas pump. This legislation will irresponsibly plunge our nation $17 trillion further into debt and further increase inflation which is already squeezing hardworking Americans' budgets. This reckless fiscal policy must come to an end. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z |
