Letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives - Hern condemns $2 trillion boondoggle, leads letter against rampant spending

Letter

Representative Kevin Hern (OK-01) led his colleagues on the Republican Study Committee's Budget and Spending Task Force on a letter condemning the rampant spending in HR 1319, criticizing the bill for its lack of targeted aid and excessive price tag on issues unrelated to COVID-19.

"When I talk to Oklahomans about what's in this bill, they're horrified," said Rep. Hern. "My constituents across the political spectrum feel let down by the Biden Administration, lied to and ignored. The so-called relief bill we vote on tonight does not help American families and workers recover from the virus or rebuild their local economies. It helps Democrat politicians alone -- and they're taking your tax dollars to do it! Pelosi and Biden are willing to bleed the American people dry in order to pass their radical agenda. As members of the minority party, there are few legislative tools at our disposal to stop their blatant power grab, but we cannot sit idly by and watch as they dig our country into debts that we will never recover from. I thank my Budget and Spending Task Force team for joining me on this letter of opposition, we hope and pray that cooler heads prevail in the Senate and stop this Administration from spending away our children's future."

Joining Rep. Hern on the letter are RSC Chairman Jim Banks and Budget and Spending Task Force members Rep. Roger Williams, Rep. James Baird, Rep. Glenn Grothman, Rep. Michael Cloud, Rep. Ralph Norman, Rep. Bob Good, Rep. Trent Kelly, Rep. Ron Estes, and Rep. Ben Cline.
