The budget serves as a comprehensive blueprint for conservative governance and was produced by the RSC Budget and Spending Task Force. Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) currently chairs that task force.\n\nOver the past two years, thanks to the Biden administration and House Democrats, federal spending has risen to historic levels, fueling the highest inflation in 40 years. Despite an unprecedented $30.5 trillion in national debt, the RSC\u2019s \u201cBlueprint to Save America,\u201d would balance the federal budget in just seven years, cut spending by $16.6 trillion over 10 years and reduce Americans\u2019 taxes by $3.9 trillion, while increasing investments in our military by 5%.\n\nHouse Democrats have failed to produce any kind of budget.\n\nRSC Budget and Spending Task Force Chair Rep. Kevin Hern said: \u201cA fiscally responsible budget isn\u2019t just for conservatives \u2013 it\u2019s for all Americans. The RSC budget prioritizes smart, common-sense policy to empower workers and save our country from a debt disaster. When Washington spends less, American families have more.\u201d\n\nRSC Chairman Rep. Jim Banks said: \u201cThe federal government has spent more at a faster rate over the past two years than at any point in history. It\u2019s not a coincidence that Americans are worse off than they\u2019ve been in years. Reckless spending has failed, and conservatives in Congress should take the opportunity to course correct, rein in spending and save America from a dire fiscal future. I\u2019d like to thank the RSC Budget and Spending Task Force, its Chair Kevin Hern, and the over 80 RSC Members whose policy proposals were included in this years\u2019 budget. Producing a plan to balance the budget gets more difficult each year and it is only possible because of their contributions.\u201d\n\nPlease find a copy of the budget here. a one-page summary of the budget here and statements of support from outside groups here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"]], "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://hern.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=575"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9041600860655308, "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"}
