Washington - Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement after House passage of the joint 10-year Congressional balanced budget resolution: “This evening the new Republican majority took another important step in our efforts to get Congress working again by passing the first joint ten-year balanced budget resolution in nearly fifteen years. The joint resolution reflects the Conservative principles of our Conference¬ fully repealing Obamacare, strengthening our national defense, and achieving balance, all without raising taxes. "Additionally it puts our nation on a more sustainable path forward by cutting over $5 trillion in spending and boosting the economy by more than $400 billion. Most importantly, passage of this joint resolution sets the framework for the appropriations process, illustrating Congress can actually work together and get things done for the American people.” |
