Duncan, Jr. (R-Tenn.) released the following statement Thursday following his vote against a massive bill Omnibus-Continuing Resolution to fund the government through next year: During my time in Congress, I have never voted for an omnibus spending bill. I am very much opposed to funding the government at the end of the year with massive, last-minute bills where they throw in just about everything but the kitchen sink. It is simply a bad way to do business. There really was no way to find out what all was in the bill. It contained more than $1 trillion in spending at a time we have a national debt of $18 trillion that is still rising at a very fast rate. Of course in a bill this massive, I could find things that I liked, but I couldn’t vote for a bill that funded President Obama’s amnesty program and included increases for many departments and agencies even above what some were asking. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
