Senators call for party unity to shut down Pelosi-Schumer spending bomb: US can’t afford this
December 13, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Sens. Rick Scott and Mike Lee wrote a piece for Fox News calling on Republicans to unite against the reckless spending coming from Democrats and to oppose the Pelosi-Schumer spending bomb in the lame-duck Congress that would explode the nation’s debt even more.
As the left pushes the country towards the cliff edge of national bankruptcy with gleeful abandon, Rick Scott (Fla.) and Mike Lee (Utah) are calling for fiscal sanity in the face of yet more Democratic pork-laden spending in an op-ed posted to Fox News. And it isn’t the first time they have demanded some type of monetary responsibility in Congress.
“Back in September, we wrote in these pages about our disgust with reckless spending in Washington and the historic inflation it was forcing on American families,” the senators began in their article.
“In that op-ed, we made clear that for the spending to stop, Republicans must unite in opposing another spending bill and demand that we pass a continuing resolution (CR) that simply maintains current federal spending levels – and not a penny more – until a new Congress begins,” they continued.
That call went unheeded and the Republicans are running out of time to rein in the spending glut-fest that Democrats are gorging themselves on.
