WASHINGTON — Congressman Ken Buck (CO-04) released the following statement regarding his vote against the National Defense Authorization Act:
“Today, I voted against the NDAA for one simple reason: spending. While I fully support funding our national defense and agree with several amendments to this bill, I cannot in good conscience vote for its $875.4 billion price tag. Our country is careening toward fiscal ruin, and Congress continues to turn a blind eye by passing these massive spending packages with no attention to their cost or efficacy.
“The Department of Defense has failed five financial audits in a row. In November 2022, it was reported that the DOD failed to account for 61% of its $3.5 trillion in assets. This is not acceptable. Congress must get serious about the waste, fraud, and abuse at the DOD and cut unnecessary programs.”
