Washington, DC,
October 5, 2017
Congressman French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after supporting the House Concurrent Budget Resolution: “By passing the House Budget today, this is the first step in paving the way for comprehensive tax reform. The House has already done our job passing all twelve funding bills for fiscal year 2018, and we’re making progress to responsibly govern and balance our budget within 10 years. This budget achieves $6.5 trillion in deficit reduction and sets our overall discretionary spending at $1.132 trillion. “I am pleased to see that House Budget Committee Chairwoman Diane Black (R-TN) addressed the true drivers of our national debt, such as mandatory spending, in this budget resolution. By cutting down on wasteful government spending and reforming government programs, we can better spur on economic growth for Arkansans and Americans, which will help put our nation on a healthy, sustainable path forward.” Background: To read the House Concurrent Budget Resolution, H.Con.Res.71, click HERE |
