发帖数: 3620 | 1 Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), who voted for the omnibus spending bill along
with 146 other Republicans, called the measure a "crap sandwich" and said he
wished it cut more.
"I have consistently said throughout my time in Washington that the American
people deserve more from their government," he said. "This bill is a crap
sandwich! You definitely do not want to bite into it, you cannot stand the
taste, but you know you have to eat it."
He said the bill does "inch us forward towards our ultimate goal of
restoring fiscal sanity." Other frustrated Republicans, 86 in all, voted
against it — more Democrats voted for the bill (149) than Republicans (147).
Gosar said the GOP controls just one half of one third of the government,
but is a "vocal and influential minority."
The bill cuts government spending by more than $6 billion from FY 2011
funding levels. Combining the omnibus bill and other spending bills already
passed, total discretionary funding for 2012 will be $95 billion less than
2011 levels. |
