Stockman will vote against reckless debt, spending proposal

'A vote for this new spending spree and debt fest is a vote to shorten the burning fuse on our nation’s fiscal bomb'

Press Release
Oct 16, 2013

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Stockman released the following statement Wednesday evening:

I will be voting against tonight’s irresponsible proposal to rack up hundreds of billions of dollars of new debt. The federal government is taking in record amounts of revenue. Instead of maxing out our children’s national credit card we need to be more responsible with the government’s current windfall.

A vote for this new spending spree and debt fest is a vote to shorten the burning fuse on our nation’s fiscal bomb. I will not vote for this reckless and irresponsible debt increase.

Sixty-one percent of Americans want spending cuts to be part of any deal on our national debt limit. They agree we cannot continue this suicidal level of spending. They don’t want their children bankrupted by increasing the debt limit instead of using current funds.

I’m doing what I was sent here to do, the right thing.

Stockman introduces Keep NASA Open Act to shield Agency from shutdown

Press Release
Oct 16, 2013

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Steve Stockman Wednesday joined Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL) to introduce the Keep NASA Open Act. The bill would guarantee NASA functions would continue to be funded should an agreement to fund the government not be reached soon.

“I’ve been working since Day One not only to keep NASA funded but restore the billions we have seen cut,” said Stockman. “The Senate may have killed our bills to keep NASA open but this stand-alone bill would protect NASA from this shutdown and put folks back to work.”

“Many members of Congress know firsthand how important NASA is to our economy and scientific progress. I hope this bill is passed and signed into law as quickly as possible,” said Stockman.

Stockman also opposed Obama’s proposal for sequestration of NASA funding. Stockman proposed an alternative to sequester that would fully restore NASA funds.

Stockman is also working to overturn Obama’s closure of JSC’s arc-jet facility, restore manned space flight, increase NASA’s budget, extend use of the International Space Station to at least 2028, restore Mars missions and expand planetary probes.
