Washington, DC—U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-32) today released the following statement regarding Veterans Day:
Washington, DC – Today, the House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation authored by Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-32) to recognize and report the results and planned expansion of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Veterans Affairs medical facilities.
Today, every House Republican and seven Democrats voted against the largest spending bill in American history. With a price tag of $789 billion ($1.1 trillion including interest), this bill exceeds the current cost of the entire Iraq war. Despite bipartisan opposition, the Democrat Majority has chosen to capitalize on an economic crisis by today passing a trillion dollar spending spree that offers very little hope of job creation or economic growth.
This week in Washington, Congress reconvened from the August district work period, and I shared in the hopes of many that bipartisan cooperation would overcome partisan agendas and that my friends in the Democratic Majority would finally allow a fair and balanced debate on energy legislation.
This week in Washington, Congress reconvened for legislative business but failed to address any meaningful solutions to our nation’s energy crisis. In a prime display of broken Washington, the House passed legislation designating a park trail, lecturing the Executive branch on how to save emails, and recognizing space exploration anniversaries.
