•     Rep. Thomas Massie [R-KY-4] notes, “With $20 trillion dollars of debt, and in the absence of a budget to guide spending, I believe that unscheduled spending should be offset by equal cuts elsewhere. This bill recklessly increases the national debt because it contains no spending offsets.”  
•     Rep. Mark Walker [R-NC-6] argues, “Congress has a duty to act responsibly while showing compassion and lending a helping hand to those in need. This $7.85 billion in aid, and all future aid, needs to be offset and voted on cleanly – not filled with special interests favors and political games that delays people from getting the help they need.”
