Last night, I voted against crony capitalism and a relic of the Roosevelt Admin. #ExIm

“This backroom budget deal is a prime example of how Washington never runs out of excuses or budget gimmicks. Instead of a Republican-controlled Congress working towards more responsible spending practices and keeping our campaign promises, we got the opposite.

“This last-minute, secret deal Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell wrote with President Obama was finalized without any input from the rest of the Republican Conference. However, I am confident that hordes of unelected staffers and highly-paid D.C. consultants had plenty of access to the ‘select’ three.

“And for Kansas farmers, this budget scheme would not only $85 billion in new spending, it could also dismantle the private crop insurance market and potentially replace it with one issued by government bureaucrats.”
