WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today voted to
continue providing funding for federal government operations until April 8th,
2011, including $6 billion in spending cuts, and issued the following
statement:
“While I am pleased that the federal government will continue to be funded
for the next three weeks, it’s time to stop these short-term budget resolutions
and finish Fiscal Year 2011 budget work. Not only do we need to move on
to the FY12 budget, we really need to be addressing the cost drivers of our
ballooning deficit: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.”
