WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun joined Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Rick Scott colleagues for a press conference today regarding the 4,155-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill revealed late Monday night and expected to be voted on this week.
“We’re running trillion dollar deficits, and anyone who thinks that’s a good business plan is blind to the reality of why that’s not going to work in the long run. We can’t just accept this as business-as-usual. We get rolled by the other side of the aisle because they are unapologetic about turning the federal government into their growing business, and we as conservatives complain about it but then go along with it. The only people coming out on the short end here are the people we say we’re trying to serve. Borrowing money from your kids and grandkids without putting any forethought into what you’re spending is a terrible business plan,” said Senator Mike Braun in his opening remarks at the press conference.
