'Tis The Season For Fiscal Responsibility 💵




<[link removed]>

Last week’s spending bill
<[link removed]>
was bad for the American taxpayer, so I stepped away from Christmas
festivities for a few minutes to talk toNewsmax
<[link removed]>
about my choice to vote “no” on all three versions.



We’re not being honest with the American people about our spending problem.
People called it a “clean CR,” but let me tell you, it’s anything but clean. We
fail to deliver on our duties, and our apology to you is to continue spending
your money like a drunken sailor.



We had a golden opportunity to hand President Trump something
meaningful—something that would rein in spending and hold folks accountable—and
we blew it.



Instead of taking up individual bills, like we do back in the Tennessee
legislature, we passed one big bill that’s jam-packed with junk. There’s a
reason Tennessee has a balanced budget, and it’s because we don’t pull stunts
like this.



These continuing resolutions just keep the bad spending policies from the
Pelosi-Schumer era alive. We’re still operating atCOVID-era spending levels
<[link removed]>
—and I challenge anyone to name one federal program added since COVID that’s
been a real success. I sure can’t.



On top of that, we passed another bloated National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) with a whopping$895 billion
<[link removed]> price tag, money that
will probably be spent without much accountability.



We can do better than this, and I’m holding out hope that 2025 brings a change
in how we do business. The Department of Government Efficiency talking about
cutting$2 trillion
<[link removed]>
is a start, but when we’re adding $1 trillion every 100 days, we’ve got to dig
a whole lot deeper.



Here’s to hoping.




 



Rockin’ Around 🎄




<[link removed]>

Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” was just crowned the official
holiday song
<[link removed]>
of Tennessee!



Recorded in Nashville in 1958 when Brenda was just 13, this song has been a
holiday staple in homes across the country. Last December, it reached the No. 1
spot on the Billboard Hot 100, making Brenda Lee the oldest artist to ever take
the spot.



It was only fitting that she was honored
<[link removed]>
in the Tennessee State Capitol, solidifying this important part of our
history: an unforgettable holiday anthem with Tennessee roots.
