H.R. 21 - Annual Appropriations: NO
January 3, 2019
H.R. 21 - Annual Appropriations: NO. This is an appropriation to continue spending for the departments, except Homeland Security, that are affected by the shutdown. The rate of spending keeps us on a collision course with trillion-dollar annual deficits. It also reauthorizes the TANF welfare program without reforms necessary to stop rampant fraud and it reauthorizes flood insurance subsidies that encourage development in flood plains.
