Congresswoman Mace Calls for 'Hard Reset' in Federal Government

“The bipartisan addiction to reckless spending has put our nation in an extremely precarious financial position. The 1,547 page “CR” would have just made it worse. If Congress can’t agree to a bill that cuts reckless spending, then a partial government shutdown might be the only way to force Washington to get serious about its budget.

We’re also talking about a very short period of time, 30 days.

The Federal government needs a hard reset to help determine what is essential and what we can live without. When President Trump takes office on January 20th, we can pass spending bills that reflect a more responsible approach and the values Americans overwhelmingly endorsed in November.

It is critical to get disaster relief to communities that have been devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. We should do this in the most appropriate way as a stand alone measure. We support passing a disaster relief package which provides relief to these communities in a fiscally responsible manner that includes offsets, and then adjourning the 118th Congress.”
