Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) released the following statement: "Today, Democrats in the House of Representatives passed President Biden's multi-trillion-dollar reconciliation bill designed to remake America in their image, giving the government control of American lives from the cradle to the grave,"said Congressman Westerman. "The last-minute Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score estimates this bill will increase the deficit by over $350 billion, but even more damaging are the threats to the foundations of our freedom by this bill's radical leftist policies. Joe Biden may consider this bill the hallmark of his presidency, but I consider it a black mark and a sad day for the American people. This bill will result in government intrusion, more taxes, higher prices, empty shelves, and wasted opportunities. Democrats are choosing to ignore the CBO's score, spending money we do not have to create programs the American people do not want, much less need." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |
