Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) has expressed his opposition to the Continuing Resolution (CR) in the House of Representatives. In a statement released today, Palmer highlighted his concerns about the unsustainable levels of spending in the CR.

Palmer stated, "Unfortunately, this CR continues to spend at the same unsustainable levels I have opposed in the past. At some point, we must confront the reality that we have to reduce spending." He expressed disappointment that CRs are still being passed and emphasized his commitment to advocating for sensible spending cuts and fiscal policy.

The House of Representatives voted on the Continuing Resolution, which is a temporary measure to fund the government when a budget agreement has not been reached. However, Palmer's dissenting vote underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach to fiscal responsibility.

Palmer's opposition to the CR aligns with his longstanding stance on reducing government spending. He has consistently advocated for fiscal restraint and believes that it is crucial to address the nation's growing debt and deficits.

This statement comes at a time when the issue of government spending is a topic of national debate. As lawmakers grapple with the challenges of funding essential programs and services, Palmer's call for sensible spending cuts resonates with those who prioritize fiscal responsibility.

While the passage of the CR ensures that the government remains funded in the short term, Palmer's statement serves as a reminder of the need for long-term fiscal planning. As the nation continues to navigate complex budgetary decisions, the voices of lawmakers like Palmer will play a crucial role in shaping the future of government spending.

As the debate on government spending continues, Representative Gary Palmer remains steadfast in his commitment to advocating for sensible spending cuts and fiscal responsibility. His opposition to the Continuing Resolution underscores the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the nation's fiscal challenges.
