WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Warren Davidson (OH-08) released the following statement concerning his “no” vote on the latest spending bill, which he called the broken promises act of 2018.
 
“Borrowing more money is an ominous sign for America’s economy, and failing to block funding for abortion providers and Obamacare are missed opportunities for conservatives to keep their promises.
 
“President Trump said he would never again sign a spending bill like the one he signed in March and this bill spends even more. Passing an $852 billion spending bill that spends more than last year does not seem to demonstrate fiscal restraint.
 
“While I support increases to military spending, I am disappointed that this bill doesn’t enact pro-life reforms like the bipartisan Conscience Protection Act or Aderholt-Kelly Amendment, which protect faith-based adoption agencies from government discrimination.
 
“Families in Ohio and across America are living within their means and the federal government should do the same. I believe that these large spending bills are the wrong way to implement our spending priorities. Congress should get back to regular order and pass appropriations bills based on a budget. It’s not compassionate to bankrupt America.”
