This is the sort of bold action that the American people expect and deserve. Our nation can\u2019t continue to spend money that we don\u2019t have and borrowing from other countries is simply not a sustainable fiscal plan. Unfortunately, it seems that Democrats are content with maintaining the status quo, leaving the Republicans to lead the charge in addressing our debt crisis \u2013 a responsibility that we are more than willing to accept.\n\n\u201cThe Washington practice of kicking the can down the road stops now. This budget shows that we will make the tough decisions to ensure that our nation\u2019s future is fiscally sustainable and that we will not leave our children and grandchildren with a crushing mountain of debt.\n\n\u201cWe were elected to make difficult decisions for the good of our country, and that is what we\u2019ll continue to do. While I might not agree with every single proposed cut, there is no longer an option to ignore trillion-dollar deficits.\u201d\n\nClick here to watch Chairman Ryan\u2019s video entitled \u201cA Path to Prosperity: America\u2019s Two Futures, visualized.\u201d\n\nKey Facts on Chairman Ryan\u2019s budget:\n\nCuts $6.2 trillion in spending from the president's budget over the next 10 years, reduces the debt as a percentage of the economy, and puts the nation on a path to paying off our national debt;\n\nBrings federal spending to below 20% of gross domestic product (GDP) and reduces deficits by $4.4 trillion;\n\nA study just released by the Heritage Center for Data Analysis projects that \u201cThe Path to Prosperity\u201d will help create nearly one million new private-sector jobs next year, bring the unemployment rate down to 4% by 2015, and result in 2.5 million additional private-sector jobs in the last year of the decade;\n\nWill spur economic growth, with $1.5 trillion in additional real GDP over the decade;", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:12:23Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://desjarlais.house.gov/media-center?ID=4926E3B0-6F0A-4E86-9D00-38480054B669"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8315090090036392, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
