Rep. Barry Moore blasts short-term funding bill

Press Release

Rep. Barry Moore released the following statement after the House of Representatives sent a short-term government funding bill to President Biden to be signed into law. Moore wrote an op-ed for The Hill this week attacking the plan for punting a longer-term bill until the lame duck session of Congress after the November elections. The bill extends current spending levels through December 16, 2022.

"It is unthinkable that Democrats would postpone their duty to pass a long-term spending bill until after the elections when they can pack in radical, unpopular left-wing spending without suffering electoral consequences," said Moore. "Every American taxpayer should be furious over the inability - or unwillingness - of Congress to do its most fundamental duty and responsibly and punctually fund our government, and Republicans must make clear our commitment to restoring accountability to how taxpayer dollars are spent."
