Rep. Cory Mills Explains Vote Against Continuing Resolution: “We Need to Get President Trump’s Agenda to Succeed, and We Need to Do That Responsibly”
Rep Cory Mills (R-FL) told The Gateway Pundit that he's opposed to any continuing resolution that continues spending money at the current rate. "I think we can do this better, I think we can get more fiscally responsible, I think we can find fiscal sanity," he said.

"But I think also, I think we can help the American people. So, we need to get President Trump's agenda to succeed. We need to do that responsibly."
Mills: Look, I've always said that I will not support a continuing resolution that spends at emergency COVID-level spending that Pelosi put in place. We should be at a 2019 +3.5 percent average, which means we'd spend at roughly a $1.477 trillion rate.

As of today, we're spending a $2.23 trillion rate. That is not sustainable, and we will end up collapsing the entire country as a result of this spending. I will always support our farmers. I will always support our military as a veteran myself. I will always make sure that we support the disaster relief in the state of Florida.

But what I can't do is allow them to go ahead and cram that into a bill to force you into a damned if you, damned if you don't, no debt ceiling limits, and then go ahead and say, Yeah, let's keep doing the same thing that Democrats do, but now because we're in a Republican majority, that is somehow right.

So, I think we can do this better. I think we can get more fiscally responsible. I think we can find fiscal sanity. But I think also, I think we can help the American people. So, we need to get President Trump's agenda to succeed, and we need to do that responsibly.

Conradson: What happens next? Does the government shut down?

Mills: It doesn't shut down until tomorrow. This was on suspension, which takes a 2/3 majority. It'll now go to rules. We'll make some modifications that people can live with, get it on the floor, get our government open, and take care of the American people.
