Washington, D.C. – Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents the state’s Sixth District, today released the following statement regarding his vote against House Resolution 148, which supports the goals and ideals of Financial Literacy Month.
“Given Congress' appetite for pork barrel spending and penchant for deficits, we’re in no position to lecture anybody on financial literacy,” said Flake. “Perhaps we should have included a provision in the bill requiring Congress to practice what it preaches.”
Congressman Flake was one of two Members of the House of Representatives to vote against House Resolution 148, which passed 409 to 2.
