That Was Then: ‘Senate Democrats … Blocked For A Third Time A Key Defense Spending Bill’
This Is Now: Democrats Wonder Where The Appropriations Bills Are
SEN. BARBARA MIKULSKI (D-MD):“I come to the floor to say that, sadly, I am concerned we will not finish our job on appropriations the way we should finish it . . . But instead of finishing Congress's work to fund the government, we are now contemplating putting the government on autopilot by something called a continuing resolution . . .” (Sen. Mikulski, Congressional Record, S. 6527, 11/29/2016)
MIKUSLKI:“Funding for every mission--let's start with the Department of Defense. Our troops are fighting overseas, and we need to support them. . . Last week, Department of Defense Comptroller Mike McCord warned that a stopgap CR delays ships and weapons our troops need.”(Sen. Mikulski, Congressional Record, S. 6527, 11/29/2016)
SEN. JEANNE SHAHEEN (D-NH):“I came to the floor this afternoon to talk about our failure once again to go through a regular appropriations process. . . But instead we are again being presented with an inadequate, short-term, stopgap bill, a continuing resolution that does not get the job done for the American people.” (Sen. Shaheen, Floor Remarks, 11/30/2016)
SHAHEEN:“[A]s a member of the Armed Services Committee, I’m also very aware, as so many of us on that committee are, of the harmful effect of continuing resolutions on our military.”(Sen. Shaheen, Floor Remarks, 11/30/2016)
