Rep. Gosar Passes Amendment to End "Cash for Crappers"

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after the House passed his amendment to prohibit millions of dollars from being spent on high-efficiency toilet exchanges. The amendment passed by unanimous consent and was attached to the fiscal year 2015 Energy and Water Appropriations Act:

"With an out of control debt and no end in sight, it is beyond crazy to have the federal government continuing to subsidize unnecessary and wasteful projects. My commonsense amendment saves taxpayer money and gets the federal government out of the business of subsidizing expensive toilet exchanges that yield highly questionable returns.

"If toilet exchange programs were as efficient as the EPA and Bureau of Reclamation claim, then such products would save so much money and water over time that they would sell themselves in the private market and wouldn't need taxpayer subsidies. It's time for the federal government to stop flushing taxpayer dollars down the toilet."
