Continuing Resolution Concerns

Congressman Eric Burleson expresses strong opposition to the latest Continuing Resolution (CR), calling it a 'total dumpster fire.' He emphasizes that the CR continues outdated budgetary practices established by previous Democratic leadership, effectively avoiding necessary cuts. Burleson points out that this process leads to an omnibus bill full of excessive spending, including 1,500 items of wasteful expenditure that he believes should shame any legislator voting in favor of it. He argues for the need for a clean CR that does not rely on deal-making with Democrats and focuses solely on essential funding.
