Congressman Bean Rejects Reckless Spending Measure

WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) voted against H.R. 6363, Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act. This short-term continuing resolution (CR) keeps Democrats’ unsustainable spending levels in place and fails to address the crisis at the southern border.

“America is on a collision course, and it is irresponsible to avoid making the tough decisions necessary to return our nation to a path of economic prosperity. Yet, that’s exactly what Congress continues to do. 

This short-term spending bill does nothing to address our most immediate national security threat—our broken, porous southern border and the fentanyl pouring across it, killing 300 Americans every day. Instead, it kicks the can down the road and continues to put our nation on the path of fiscal ruin.

As our debt surpasses a staggering $33 trillion, it has never been more apparent that our nation cannot sustain Biden-Pelosi spending levels for one more day, let alone 77 days. We owe it to our children and our grandchildren to do something about our unsustainable debt and leave them a nation that is financially stable. We cannot ask the next generation to pay for the greed of today,” said Congressman Bean

Background: 

H.R. 6363, Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act passed 336-95 and is expected to extend current spending levels for the federal government through February 2, 2024.
