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.
