Gingrey votes 'no' on spending bill: U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey voted against H.R. 1105 – the $410 billion fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Spending bill – which passed the House Wednesday by a vote off 245 to 178, mostly with Democratic support. Said Gingrey: "Last night, President Obama pledged to cut our federal deficit in half before his four year term is up. This is a noble goal, but while it is always easier to talk about fiscal responsibility "in the future" – the road to a decreased deficit must start today. Unfortunately, the calls for fiscal restraint that echoed through the House Chamber less than 24 hours ago failed to reach Speaker Pelosi and her allies in the House as Democrats today approved nearly a half-trillion dollars in additional deficit spending. I hope that my colleagues in the Senate will take the commitment to fiscal responsibility more seriously, reject the overloaded spending in this bill, and look for ways to tighten the federal belt before sending it to the pPresident's desk."
