Washington, DC – Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) issued the following statement after voting against the Democrats’ rule earlier today, which advanced their misguided and partisan $3.5 trillion budget framework for fiscal year 2022:
“Today, Democrats used a parliamentary tool to advance their dangerous agenda. At the gas pump, the grocery store, and in every aspect of our daily lives, we are witnessing how their party’s reckless policies are making it tougher for the people of Wyoming and the nation to get ahead. The budget framework that the House deemed as passed this afternoon would be nothing more than a blank check for the Biden Administration and Bernie Sanders to enact their radical far-left agenda and grow the scope of the federal government while infringing on individuals’ freedoms.
“With trillions of dollars already injected into our economy and inflation rampant across the country, the last thing we should be doing is raising taxes to pay for more unnecessary projects that ignore the growing national debt and expand Washington’s influence in Americans’ daily lives. I will continue to fight against efforts to implement this irresponsible level of runaway spending that would impose a massive debt and tax burden on hardworking Americans.”
