I will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.

Making it permanent would add another $4 trillion, with a 'T, to the deficit, leading us on the path to more debt.
