CFA Alerts Senate: Vote NO on Cloture on the Senate Substitute for H.R. 1586
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 1:17 PM
The Center for Fiscal Accountability urges all Members of the United States Senate to reject the federal subsidy package rolled into H.R. 1586. The bill is being used to shuttle last-minute profligate spending the Senate has been unsuccessful in passing this year before an extended recess. Such irresponsible governing should not be tolerated by this Senate. From our alert:
“This bill includes $10 billion dollars to plug the education budget holes of states. This is on top of the $16 billion injection of funds to prop up failing FMAP funds in the states, amounting to a $26 billion tab for taxpayers who should not be held responsible for the foolhardy budgeting of irresponsible states. It is hardly surprising that states which chose to prop up increased spending with “stimulus” funds are now calling out for more money to sustain their reckless spending.”
