McCaskill released the following statement: This package is one fiscally irresponsible step too far. It includes important provisions for programs I support, like a boost to the E/A-18 Growler and F/A-18 Super Hornets production lines in St. Louis. But the bulk of this package is just a series of huge, expensive tax giveaways to the wealthy and special interestsnot paid forthat will add significantly to our national debt and hamper our ability to achieve my goal of a simpler, fairer tax code. One year ago this week, McCaskill voted against a $1 trillion omnibus spending bill, after secretive, last-minute additions to the bill changed election rules to allow for huge financial donations from wealthy contributors to political parties and committees.
