U.S. SENATE– U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement on his vote against increasing the federal debt ceiling and government spending: “I voted no on the budget deal today.

Daines: Biden’s Bloated Budget Props Up Big Government at the MT Taxpayers’ Expense

March 9, 2023

U.S. SENATE –U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement after President Biden submitted his FY24 budget proposal to Congress. “Montana families are struggling with record inflation, which has led to sky-high prices that make it hard to keep food on the table, gas tanks full and houses warm. President Biden’s proposed budget would raise taxes which will stifle investment and job growth, grow government and benefit Democrat pet projects at the expense of Montana taxpayers.

Unfortunately, Congress has too often exceeded the limited powers granted to it in Article I of the Constitution. Our Presidents have sometimes overreached their power as well. I will work to restore limited government whereby the Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary Branches operate within their constitutional boundaries. This effort starts by limiting the growth of government spending and providing oversight to agencies
