Prior to a vote on the latest component of the president's second stimulus plan (which would increase the deficit by nearly $300 billion in this fiscal year alone), Sen. Sessions spoke on the floor to express his concerns with Democrat leaders' tax-and-spend mentality.
Sessions said: "This country is spending enough. We're wasting enough money now. It would be a mistake for the American people to allow Congress to extract more money from them to spend today on even a new program while we're doing nothing about the surging debt that's running on in our country. Nothing about the Solyndra-type loan programs that are wasting money in huge amounts."
Although each vote on the president's stimulus plan has received bipartisan opposition, the Senate's Democrat leaders continue to press for more spending that would be financed by large tax increases.
