Issues: National Security Women Abortion Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) today issued the following statement regarding his vote against the omnibus spending bill.

"The cons definitively outweigh the pros in this omnibus. Not only does this massive spending bill put a tremendous burden on the taxpayers by actually increasing spending, but it continues government funding for abortion mills like Planned Parenthood and allows more Syrian refugees to come into the United States without any safeguards in place," said Vitter. "This giant omnibus spending bill defies our core American values, and it continues us on an unsustainable path of overspending and debt."
