Greetings,
This week, Republican leadership again capitulated to President Obama -- this time by joining with Democrats to pass the Obama-Boehner Budget Deal, a backdoor agreement that recklessly increases our nation's debt by roughly $80 billion. As an active opponent of this blank check for Barack Obama, I fought hard to block this legislation. Although conservatives were unable to prevail this time, I will continue to stand up to this type of irresponsible spending that is bankrupting our kids and grandkids.
We must continue to do everything we can to rein in the spending of both the Republican establishment and Democrats, alike. I remain to be a committed leader in this fight.
Please keep reading for more updates on the latest in the Senate.
