CHAIRMAN JOHNSON VOTES NO ON $1 TRILLION SPENDING BILL

WASHINGTON – Republican Study Committee Chairman Mike Johnson (R-La.) today released the following statement after voting against a $1.37 trillion spending bill – totaling more than 2,300 pages – that was fast-tracked through the House in less than 24 hours:

"I cannot in good conscience vote for a trillion-dollar spending bill that was handed to me less than 24 hours ago. With an unprecedented $23 trillion national debt, it's time for Congress to stop rubber-stamping these colossal spending packages and start exercising a little fiscal responsibility. Voters demand it, taxpayers deserve it and the future security of our nation depends on it."
