Why We Need To Pass Our Budget

Can the Republican majority govern?

It’s time to prove it.

The voters put Republicans in charge of the House, Senate, and White House in November 2016 to reverse eight years of reckless liberal spending and poor budgeting. It’s time for us to do exactly that.

In July, the Budget Committee that I chair released Building a Better America, our balanced budget plan that reforms government, rebuilds the military, and paves the way for pro-growth tax reform. 

Our budget balances in 10 years and puts our country on track to start paying down the $20 trillion debt and ensure that we protect our children and grandchildren from that burden. 

It promotes economic growth through policies like tax reform, health care reform, entitlement and welfare reform, and significant spending restraint. 

It starts the process of rebuilding our military, after it was decimated during the Obama years. Our budget includes a $70 billion increase in spending for defense, as the threats to our national security continue to grow around the world. It’s not only imperative that we prepare for growing threats, but also that we honor the dedication of our armed services by giving them the equipment and training they need to do their jobs and return safely home.
