Washington, D.C. – Following a vote in the House on the Senate passed spending bill for fiscal year 2023, Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) issued the following statement on his opposition:

“Passing a $1.7 trillion spending bill days before Christmas is government at its very worst. This over 4,000-page bill fails to address issues that matter most to the American people. Our border is left open during a record wave of illegal immigration. Almost $4 billion is spent on energy assistance programs while Democrats continue to vilify widely available forms of energy and drive-up costs. The $800 billion aimed at non-defense spending is the highest level in the history of the nation while our country is experiencing inflation at 7.1% compared to last year.”

Palmer continued, “These are just a few examples of why I cannot support this bill or the broken process that produced it.”
