The Continuing Resolution

September 30th marks the end of our government's fiscal year, and once again they have gotten too close to the deadline and are risking a government shutdown, unless they pass the continuing resolution (CR) before the end of Friday. Passing a continuing resolution is lazy and bad governance. Instead of going through the standard appropriations process, Congressional Democrat's policies have kicked the can down the road.

Here are just a couple of unnecessary things they are attaching to this legislation.

$22.4 billion in COVID emergency funds, despite Biden declaring the pandemic is over.
This is in addition to the $4.6 trillion we have already spent on the COVID pandemic.
$3.9 billion on Monkeypox.
There are only around 25,341 cases in the United States.

While advertising they are avoiding a government shutdown, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are quietly continuing their political charade. At the end of the day, this CR is a disservice to the American people, and I was a proud NO vote on it.

For Texas and Liberty,

Pat Fallon

Member of Congress
