WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement after voting against the omnibus funding legislation, which passed the Senate by a vote of 68-29:
“The budget process in Washington is totally broken. At the 11th hour, Congress has jammed through a $1.7 trillion, 4,000+ page package stuffed with special interest provisions.
“While I appreciate the critical investments this bill makes in our national defense, we cannot continue to rubberstamp wasteful spending with zero transparency. It is beyond time to restore regular order, address our skyrocketing debt, and get back to passing responsible budgets for the American people.”
