Barrasso Statement on Earmarks
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding earmarks:
"The message from the 2010 election was unmistakable: Washington spends too much and borrows too much. I want to take every possible step to reduce spending, decrease the debt and limit the size of the federal government. Since joining the Senate in 2007, I have voted consistently for earmark reform. Banning earmarks will not on its own put our fiscal house in order. It will however send a strong message that we need to do something different and I plan to continue to vote for it."
