Oklahoma Congressman Kevin Hern suggests the President in his budget submitted to congress is proposing spending on anything he can think especially Green New Deal priorities.
In a statement, the Tulsa Republication said the President’s budget request includes “exorbitant” spending for Green New Deal priorities while failing to address the ongoing economic fallout of COVID-19 shutdowns.
Hern, the Republican Study Committee Budget and Spending Task Force Chairman, said the plan ignores necessary steps to return Americans workers to the workforce.
“Both parties have had a spending problem over the last several years, but the Biden Administration has turned that problem into an unprecedented disaster in less than three months,” said Rep Hern.
“Without even a modest attempt at bipartisanship, Biden has turned his back on everything he promised the American people. He stood in front of Congress, Americans, and the world on Inauguration Day and committed to unity, transparency, and integrity. He has failed us on every count.”
Hern said Biden’s spending plan is nothing close to a budget and is more of a checklist for what he called the “most radical, expensive policies our nation has ever seen.”
The Republican Study Committee Budget and Spending Task Force, led by Rep. Hern, is developing a Republican Budget that reflects conservative values and puts responsible spending parameters in place. This includes a 1% cut across every federal agency and department. The Republican Budget will balance in less than 10 years.
