From my conversation w/ Newsradio 1360 WTAQ after yesterdays Budget vote: This was a bipartisan deal, so there’s things in here that I don’t like, there’s things that give me heartburn, but on balance, I think we’re going in the right direction where we continue to reduce spending year over year, get our budgets under control, and get Democrats to buy into this idea that we have to start to limit how much we spend. ...Duffy is pleased with their ability to restore full funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. He is disappointed in this bill’s lack of help for our veterans. “The men and women who serve our country, who put their lives on the line, I don’t think should be the first ones on the chopping block when we find budget agreements, and so I’m actually with over 100 members in the House working on a proposal that will restore those COLA increases for them, and I think that’s important.
