Johnson Votes Against Massive Omnibus Spending Bill | 2022-12-22 | 2022 | 2022-12 | Republican | Senate | WI | Ron Johnson | J000293 | www.ronjohnson.senate.gov | ronjohnson | https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) released the following statement after voting against final passage of the 4,000+ page, $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that was fast-tracked through the Senate without proper consideration. “The Omnibus that just passed in the Senate is an abomination. There is no way anyone had time to read all 4,155 pages, much less comprehend how the massive deficit spending and major policy elements will negatively impact Americans. This takes Washington dysfunction and cynicism to an entirely new level. We were unable to amend the bill to eliminate at least $11 billion in earmarks or preserve Title 42 as the only restriction to Biden’s open border policy. Once again, Congress easily waived the ‘Paygo’ discipline to enable massive deficit spending to continue. We are mortgaging our children’s future and a majority of the members of Congress couldn’t care less. I voted no.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
