"House Republicans also pledged to prevent a government shutdown so this measure, though inadequate, is necessary due to Democrats’ failure to pass a federal budget last year."
Congressman Bill Johnson (OH-6) released the following statement regarding U.S. House Republicans’ leadership in passing a two-week stopgap measure to prevent a government shutdown that also includes $4 billion in savings:
“The two-week stopgap measure is not ideal – it’s barely acceptable. House Republicans have pledged to cut spending and this measure does cut $4 billion from the federal government. House Republicans also pledged to prevent a government shutdown so this measure, though inadequate, is necessary due to Democrats’ failure to pass a federal budget last year.” |
