At 2,009 pages and a cost of$1.15 trillion, it works out to about $572 million per page...in my opinion, a cost too high for those I represent.The bill adds $50 billion to the deficit, doesn't contain key riders - particularly on refugees, and limits our constitutional right to privacy in thecybersecurity arena. At the end of the day, I think the American taxpayer is losing, and accordingly, I will vote against the bill." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
