The fact of the matter is that unrestrained government spending and unsustainable entitlement programs that make up nearly 70 percent of our spending remain untouched by this measure. After years of debate it is time to take action. “Unfortunately, the Senate’s unwillingness to negotiate resulted in a measure that does not provide the reforms required to address the nearly $17 trillion national debt and the massive new entitlement program in the form of Obamacare. Getting spending under control and reducing our debt remain my highest priorities, and this bill did not meet those goals. That is why I could not vote in support of this proposal.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
