Press Release : Financial Services and General Government

During today’s House Appropriations Subcommittee markup of the 2024 Financial Services and General Government funding bill, House Republicans passed a bill that benefits scammers, fraudsters, and cheaters and enables individuals to take advantage of hardworking people, commit fraud, and sell dangerous products.

Based on information the House Appropriations Committee received from agency leaders in the Biden Administration, House Republicans’ reported proposal to cut fiscal year 2024 discretionary spending back to the fiscal year 2022 enacted level—resulting in a cut of at least 22 percent for essential programs—would increase costs for hard working people and middle-class families.

“I look forward to reviewing this budget and working with my colleagues in both chambers and on both sides of the aisle to pass final funding bills that continue to help hardworking people. As we head into budget hearings, I offer an important reminder: no Member, Senator, party, or chamber can do it alone.”
