It’s not compassionate to bankrupt America.

132 fiscal conservatives in the House stood up for the fiscal sanity of our nation’s future and voted “No”on the Pelosi-Mnuchin budget deal (joined by 16 Democrats and 1 independent, for a total of 149 “No” votes).

There is no justification for piling on $322 billion on top of $1 trillion deficits, and yet 65 Republicans joined Democrats in passing the budget deal that does just that. Members of Congress who voted for the budget deal are making a mockery of the repeated promises to rein in out-of-control spending.

FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 511

It’s not compassionate to bankrupt America.

Compared to past recent budget deals, this one is especially bad. As you can see below, this deal is worse than the budget deals made during the Obama years.

Here’s how bad of a deal this is for conservatives:

• It does NOT curtail spending in exchange for raising the debt limit.
• It increases non-defense spending by 4.5%, but only increases defense spending by 3.1%—parity used to be the goal, but this is settling for less.
• It’s worse than the deal President Trump signed in 2018, when he famously said, “I will never sign another bill like this again.”
• It increases spending more than 4x the amount of either of the Obama budget deals.
• While only 33% of House Republicans voted for it, 93% of Democrats did.
• Even radical liberal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted for it!
