The current process has led to five continuing resolutions in a single fiscal year. This morning, Congress again failed in its responsibility to the American people.

The federal budget process is completely broken. I have spent my first year on the House Budget Committee pushing for reforms to add meaningful enforcement mechanisms and accountability.

I support funding our military and a number of other provisions in the bill. But we can and should keep our nation strong and secure without requiring irresponsible spending increases, ignoring the deficit, and growing the size of the federal government.

This legislation simply props up the failed status quo, and I could not support it.

The budget is broken because you and Paul Ryan broke it by giving huge tax cuts to billionaires. Your "small business" rhetoric is a Trojan horse for big business, Wall St, and your donor class campaign contributors. You've spent your first year ignoring your constituents.

PA-16: Lloyd Smucker won't host a town hall meeting, won't address your concerns directly, (lol@"telephone town halls"), evades any and every difficult question re: Pres. Trump and his offensive/divisive rhetoric. You deserve better and we have other options!

Really, that’s all? You have voted to add $2T to our deficit and your excuse is “ it’s broken?”

Let me get this straight: you’re the guy cheerleading for a $1.4 trillion deficit when the proceeds go to your wealthy donor bosses. But when it comes to governing for working folks, your answer is, “Sorry folks, everything is broken...” If Congress failed, then you failed.

You know who joins a 230-year-old institution designed to represent the citizens in our democracy, and in less than a year turns around and says it is “broken” and “failed”? Someone who sucks at their job. Maybe you weren’t cut out for this line of work...

Your party controls all three branches of government. It has rigged the campaign finance system and the electoral system. You’ve abandoned your separation of powers duties. You’re complaining that you have to pretend to work while you destroy the institutions of government. LOL.
