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.

So you vote for a tax reduction that will add trillions to the debt even before these spending increases

Spare us the fake fiscal responsibility. U of Penn puts tax bill deficit at 2 TRILLION or more. http://theweek.com/speedreads/744376/gop-tax-bill-actually-add-2-trillion-national-debt-trumps-alma-mater-predicts … CRFB puts it at 2.2 TRILLION http://www.crfb.org/blogs/final-tax-bill-could-end-costing-22-trillion#.WjgJ2ZihDQg.twitter … And you ADDED MORE LOOPHOLES, which will add more to deficit. ALL FOR DONORS

You voted for a bill that was written by lobbyists, containing hand-scribbled notes in the margins—all done in secret with no hearings or debate, rushed through, voted on in the middle of the night. What status quo are you bitching about? Who failed?

Thank you for opposing this garbage bill! We elected Republicans to shrink domestic discretionary spending, not grow it.
