It explodes the spending caps, balloons the deficit and betrays conservatives and the Constitution,” said Stockman. “Here in the House the only tool at our disposal is our vote. It is up to the Senate to stop this. Conservative senators must use every unique legislative tool the Senate allows to block this bill. Americans will be watching to see who leads, and who follows the D.C. establishment by allowing a vote,” said Stockman. “This deal is absolutely not an incremental step to lower spending. It increases spending. And it makes Obama’s exploding deficits and budgets the official policy of the Republican Party. We will be watching to see which senators use the Senate’s rule to block this bill,” said Stockman. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
