Vote Notes 113th Congress (2013 - 2014)

1/23/2013  HR 325 (Raising the Debt Limit).  Congressman McClintock spoke on January 23rd on the House floor in opposition to the measure.   HR 325: Carte Blanche Credit.   Mr. Speaker:  The House is poised to pass HR 325.  I respect the sincerity of its supporters, but I must firmly dissent.  This bill accommodates spending at ruinous levels far beyond the limits set by the House budget.  Full remarks.  

1/15/2013  HR 152  (Hurricane Sandy Legislation, Including Unrelated and Non-Emergency Spending).  Congressman McClintock voted NO, and and spoke on the House floor during debate.  Rule on Hurricane Sandy, House Chamber, Washington D.C.  Mr. Speaker:  This rule brings us a spending package of more than $50 billion that is supposed to be for emergency repairs in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.  That averages $450 from every household in America.  $450. These families have a right to expect that this money is being used for genuine emergency relief.  But it’s not.  According to the Congressional Budget Office, more than 90 percent won’t even be spent this year.  That’s not emergency relief.  Sixteen billion is to quintuple the size of the Community Development Block Grant Program.  That’s the slush fund that pays for such dubious projects as doggie day care centers – and it doesn’t even have to be spent in the hurricane area.   Full remarks.  Congressman McClintock also discussed the issue in a column.


1/4/2013    HR 41 – National Flood Insurance Borrowing: NO.  The National Flood Insurance Program uses taxpayer money to subsidize flood insurance for those who choose to live in flood plains.  This denies consumers accurate price signals that reflect the true costs of the risks they are taking, and robs taxpayers who chose not to take similar risks.  For example, the people of the 4th Congressional District live in fire-prone areas but accept that risk by paying higher premiums for their fire insurance.  They should not be forced to pay for the risks that others accept by living in flood plains.  In the case of Hurricane Sandy, however, consumers have already paid for the subsidized insurance and the question in this bill is whether the government has an obligation to pay out for their claims.  I believe it does.  But this obligation should be met through the normal appropriations process where the money is honestly accounted for.  This bill creates an off-budget fiction that allows the program to borrow more under the pretense it will repay the loans, when clearly it can’t and it won’t.
