Budget Democrats Vote for Greater Washington Control, Against Protecting Life, Liberty, and Property
September 25, 2021
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today in the House Budget Committee, Democrats are fighting to defend trillions in taxes and spending as well as the wealthy who will benefit from their socialist policies.
When given the opportunity to stand up for federalism, transparency, communities in need, American taxpayers, the sanctity of life, and working families in general, Democrats voted NO on:
- Prioritizing funding for combatting wildfires and hurricane relief instead of earmarks for Speaker Pelosi and other Democrat pet projects.
- Stopping the weaponization of the IRS in targeting American taxpayers.
- Giving the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) time to analyze the remaining 99% of the Democrats' proposal that has yet to be scored and ensuring Congress and the American people have a clear understanding of the true impact of the legislation.
- Preventing taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortion services.
- Halting subsidies for the wealthy to purchase luxury electric vehicles.
- Focusing Congressional attention on how to reduce spending.
- Preventing tax increases on hardworking Americans.
