Heritage Action, a top conservative group, is hammering the House GOP for passing a bipartisan bill to avoid a government shutdown.
A prominent conservative group is coming out against the just-passed short-term spending bill aimed at averting a government shutdown at the end of this week, arguing Americans are “exasperated” with the level of federal spending.
“Congress has backed itself into a corner — unable to pass responsible spending bills or secure our border, and opting again for a short-term CR that fails to solve any of the problems facing our country. As usual, taxpayers will foot the bill for Washington’s recklessness,” Ryan Walker, vice president of Heritage Action, said in a statement.
“Congress has 40 more days to fight for separate funding bills that will roll back inflation-fueling spending and force the Biden administration to reverse the flow of illegal immigration. They cannot waste this time.”
In the statement, which was sent to Republican members, Walker noted that the bill passed on Thursday is the third government funding extension this Congress has passed, as a deal on fiscal year 2024 spending continues to elude negotiators.
“The American people are exasperated with the Swamp’s dysfunction that puts them last,” he said.
