ANOTHER BAILOUT BAIT AND SWITCH

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has announced plans to extend the $700 billion TARP program through next October. The bailout program has strayed wildly from its original purpose of providing short-term support and stability for the financial system. TARP was intended to address a crisis in our financial markets, and it was understood that American taxpayers would be repaid once the immediate crisis subsided. I have pushed ...

Taxpayers to pay for U.S. Trial and Detention of Terrorists

Today the House voted to approve the Homeland Security Appropriations Conference Report which allows Guantanamo detainees and other captured terrorists to be transferred onto U.S. soil for trial and detention – all at U.S. taxpayers’ expense. Previously the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to oppose this provision. House Republicans offered a motion to prevent the transfer of these terrorists to the U.S., but the Democrat majority ...

America cannot afford to lose or retreat from Afghanistan

Earlier this year, President Obama demonstrated a clear understanding of the war in Afghanistan and the security risk it poses to our country. In March, the president said “if the Afghan government falls to the Taliban -- or allows al Qaeda to go unchallenged -- that country will again be a base for terrorists who want to kill as many of our people as they possibly can.” The president went on to lay out a strategy to deal with the “greatest ...

DEMOCRATS LEAVE DOOR OPEN FOR TERRORISTS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO U.S.

Today during the conference committee meeting on the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, House Democrats left the door open for terrorists to be transferred to U.S. soil and took deliberate steps to convert our soldiers into international policemen. By removing the Senate language to keep detainees out of the United States, the liberal leadership has cleared the way for terrorists to be tried in U.S. courts and housed in U.S. detention ...

STATEMENT ON LATEST UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS

While the president has worked to assert control over the banking, auto, insurance, energy and health care industries, hardworking Americans continue to lose their jobs. Today, the Labor Department announced that hundreds of thousands more Americans are without employment. The president repeatedly claimed that he would “create or save jobs.” It is clear that his reckless spending and big government policies have failed. Our nation is ...

Culberson Calls for an Investigation into ACORN

Yesterday Conservatives ensured that not another dime of your hard earned tax dollars is spent on the corrupt community organization ACORN. By a margin of 345-75, the House voted to cut off all federal funding to ACORN. In addition to the vote, I was able to gain assurance from Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, that he would hold hearings investigating the indisputable criminal activity we have seen broadcast ...

Historic Government Spending

This week, annual federal spending surpassed the $3 trillion mark for the first time in our nation’s history. In July, the U.S. government spent more money - $332 billion – than in any other month in history. The current deficit for the year stands at $1.27 trillion – three times last year’s record of $459 billion. The individual share of this year's deficit for every American is $4,100 - by fall that share will approach $6,000. The national ...

The Federal Government is on an Unstable Path

After passing cap and trade legislation, which is likely to be the largest tax increase in American history, President Obama and some in Congress are now pushing a $1.5 trillion health care plan that I believe will raise taxes, ration care, and let government bureaucrats make decisions that I feel should be made by you and your doctors. The White House has said this health care reform is “key to our fiscal future.” I think every ...

72 HOUR RULE

Record high spending bills are passing the House without a chance for Members of Congress and the American public to read the legislation. It is time to stop voting blind. Yesterday Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) and I introduced H.Res. 554, a resolution requiring the House of Representatives to make bills and conference reports available online for 72 hours before they are considered by the House. This resolution will enhance public ...

PAYING FOR BORROWED MONEY WITH BORROWED MONEY

In a little less than five months, President Obama and the liberal leadership in Congress have spent more than $1.6 trillion. Their policies have created the highest spending levels since World War II and exploded our national debt to $11 trillion. Today President Obama’s director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) updated his projections and is now anticipating a $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, up from $1.2 trillion earlier this ...

STOP SPENDING OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE

STOP SPENDING OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE At a time when American families are trimming their budgets, House Democrats have decided that it is time to increase the federal government’s. Today, House Democrats increased taxes, increased spending, increased our national debt and increased the size of the federal government. I voted against this budget because ...

CONGRESSIONAL CEOs

CONGRESSIONAL CEOs Earlier this year, the Democrats passed a $787 billion “stimulus” bill that allowed 165 million of our tax dollars to be paid in bonuses for the same AIG employees who steered the company into insolvency. I voted against this bill because it was crafted in secret, rushed to the floor, and Members of Congress and the American public were not even given time to read it. Today, House Democrats brought the “Executive ...

Culberson says No to the largest spending bill in history

Today I voted against the largest spending bill in the history of the United States Congress. This bill violated House rules, was crafted in secret by unelected Democrat staff, and gave the American people only 15 hours to read nearly 1,500 pages. All so Speaker Pelosi could make her trip to Italy. This bill is also full of pet projects and wasteful spending. How does $300 million for golf carts help stimulate the economy? Economists from ...

Congressman Culberson Demands Accountability

Dear Friend: Americans need to know the truth behind this financial crisis, and taxpayers should not bear the burden of failing financial institutions with no accountability or consequences.
