Washington Times: Pence, House conservatives cut more than $500 million in spending
Amy Fagan of The Washington Times penned this article on Saturday about the Military Quality of Life appropriations bill.
Two excerpts follow:
"Conservatives said the projects weren't war emergencies and they pointed to an administration statement yesterday stating the White House 'opposes the use of war reserve funds for military construction projects.'
"'After months of negotiating to build a disciplined federal budget, some of us feel that to turn around two days later and use a gimmick to exceed the budget is wrong,' said Rep. Mike Pence, Indiana Republican and chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee."
"Conservatives acknowledged it was tough to take a stand on the popular military spending bill yesterday, but they said Americans want fiscal discipline in Congress and they'll keep fighting for it.
"'House conservatives are adamant about sticking to this budget,' Mr. Pence said."
