Chairman Pfluger Blasts Democrat CR: "Stale Leftovers" With $1.5 Trillion Price Tag

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As first reported in The Blaze, following the release of the Democrat alternative continuing resolution, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) issued a scathing rebuke of the proposal as a continuation of the same Biden-Harris policies that brought the country to the brink of bankruptcy. The memo highlights the Democrats' plan to increase spending by $1.5 trillion while providing illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits. 

RSC Chairman August Pfluger unleashed on the proposal:

"The Democrats' continuing resolution proposal is nothing more than stale leftovers from the Biden-Harris Administration that nobody wanted the first time around, and microwaving them won't make them any more appetizing to the American people,” said RSC Chairman August Pfluger. “While House Republicans offer a responsible plan to keep government open at current funding levels, Democrats are recklessly threatening a shutdown unless we bend the knee to their radical $1.5 trillion spending spree that provides illegal aliens with access to Medicaid and spends $350 billion on extending Biden COVID credits that subsidize abortion. The American people handed President Trump and Congressional Republicans a decisive mandate to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse—not to capitulate to the same Leftists who drove our country toward bankruptcy and were soundly rejected at the ballot box."
