Interview With Sen. Tammy Baldwin: The Tug-of-War Over Taxpayer Dollars

Published | Video Starts at 07:33

Why has there been so little pushback and is that going to change? Yeah. Well, let me in answer to your question, I want to say that In this most recently passed bill that Donald Trump signed into law, we had to put guardrails that we've never had to put in to our appropriations laws before to enforce our spending bills. And those laws have made it clear that we expect that they must spend what we have appropriated and not just all of it at the end of the fiscal year, but in a timely manner throughout the year. (07:33–07:52)

CLAIM
