Joining us now is Congressman Eric Burleson. Congressman has called the CR a total dumpster fire. Congressman, welcome to the program. We have about seven minutes here, and we appreciate you calling in.
I know you just came right off the floor. Take some time and educate us. What is a CR? What is in this bill, and why are you against it?
Yeah, a CR is a continuing resolution. In fact, Charlie, we basically have been doing this since whenever we took the majority. We've only been kicking the can down the road. We are continuing the budget that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have passed. We cannot seem to muster the willpower to make the kind of cuts that are necessary. And so what happens is we get to the end of the year when our fiscal year ends in September 30th. And in order to avoid a government shutdown, they will pass a continuing resolution. Usually they'll do it until Christmas so that we get to this moment where we all want to go home for Christmas. And then they jam us with an omnibus bill that has a bunch of pork and a bunch of bad things in it.
And that's exactly what we have going on right now. 1500 page, you know, pork barrel piece of garbage. that everybody who votes for it should be ashamed of themselves.
So what do you have to say to the counter that we want a clean slate for President Trump, a belief that I hold, that we do not want any of the legislative poison for Trump to inherit, right? We want Trump to have a clean slate and that the only way to get President Trump a clean slate was by passing the CR.
No, I think that you could do a clean CR and that would accomplish the goal, but that's not what they're trying to do. They're trying to just throw in a bunch of items in this to get Democrats to vote for it. So this is a Democrat heavy bill. We're gonna fund the new Francis Scott Key Bridge. There's an RFK stadium project in here. There's a huge boondoggle for the pharmaceutical companies for big pharma in this. And so honestly, big pharma stands to benefit $50 billion out of this bill. The bill might as well say it's being brought to you by Pfizer.
Yeah. So so walk through the process here, if we can. Was there a an appropriations process? Did this come out of committee? Did you guys get a chance to debate all of these details? Were you guys given weeks of informed consent here? Walk us through the process here.
No, no. That sounds all of that sounds great. And that's the way it's supposed to work. But that's not what happened. The process is supposed to these bills are supposed to be 12 separate bills or funding bills. and they go through the subcommittees of appropriations and then they are debated and they come to the floor for a vote individually. That does not happen.
