CFA Urges House to Vote YES on Jordan Amendment to THUD Appropriations
Thursday, July 29, 2010 2:00 PM
Today, CFA urged the House of Representatives to adopt an amendment offered by Rep. Jordan that would return the THUD Appropriations bill to its FY2008 funding levels. FY2008 marks a pre-bailout, pre-"stimulus" period, to which federal outlays should returned to keep taxpayers from paying for the poorly-conceived spending policies in perpetuity. From our alert:
While the Center for Fiscal Accountability remains staunchly opposed to the underlying bill, we support Rep. Jordan’s Amendment #7, which would return THUD funding to FY 2008 levels.
On the heels of failed “stimulus” and bailout plans, federal spending has grown at an unprecedented rate. Since the Obama administration took office, non-defense, non-discretionary spending has grown by 84 percent. This is clearly an unsustainable leap in government growth.
