Dear Friends,
Our nation’s budget reflects America’s priorities, and should always put hardworking Americans first. This week, the House Budget Committee passed our Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Resolution, which outlines how we can create a pathway to future success for our children and grandchildren.
I am committed to ensuring that we work to effectively address our government spending habits and that we are good stewards of hardworking taxpayers’ dollars. Our newly released budget tackles our broken tax system, makes positive reforms to mandatory spending, and much more.
Here's what our budget does:
The budget resolution establishes a path toward a balanced budget within 10 years, without raising taxes, and places the government on a fiscal course sustainable for the long-term.
- Ensures a Strong National Defense
The budget resolution supports robust funding for troop training, equipment, compensation, and improved readiness.
- Returns Power to States and Local Governments
The budget resolution encourages the innovation and creativity of state and local governments, and returns significant authority back to the states. The laboratories of democracy, not the federal government, are where these reforms should take place.
- Reforms Government Programs While Improving Accountability
The budget resolution reforms government programs and improves accountability while generating better outcomes for Americans.
We are working hard to make certain each tax dollar is used wisely, so that future generations can thrive in America. We're putting our nation back on the path to prosperity and financial freedom!
Sincerely,
Representative French Hill |
