Duncan, Jr. (R-Tenn.) released the following statement Thursday on his vote against a budget bill before the House of Representatives: "I could not vote for a bill that increases spending by $63 billion when our National debt is more than $17 trillion dollars and climbing higher and faster than ever before. “The big increase in spending in this bill is offset only by promises of future cuts that could be changed by future Congresses. “I agree with a column this week by Howard Kurtz, who wrote: ‘Turns out nobody likes this budget deal except the press, which loves bipartisan agreements, no matter how puny.’ “It also goes back on sequester cuts that were very minimal cuts, only about 2%. But you can never satisfy government’s appetite for more money.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
