McKinley: Don't Reverse Progress on Cutting Spending | 2013-12-12 | 2013 | 2013-12 | Republican | House | WV | David McKinley | M001180 | mckinley.house.gov | legacy | Rep. David B. McKinley, P.E. (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement regarding his vote against the budget deal: share: f t Rep. McKinley: Don't Reverse Progress on Cutting Spending Rep. David B. McKinley, P.E. (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement regarding his vote against the budget deal: In 2011, I came to Congress with a pledge to reduce spending and stop saddling our children and grandchildren with an unsustainable debt. Since then we have made some progress. For the first time since the Korean War spending has decreased for two consecutive years. Unfortunately, this deal reverses some of the progress we've made. It increases spending for the next two years but promises to save money in the future. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office most of the savings would come seven years from now. The deal also hits close to home in West Virginia by abolishing an important program run at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Morgantown. This particular energy research program supports approximately 80 jobs. Eliminating it diminishes one of the vital roles NETL plays to our local and national economy. While I applaud the fact that bipartisan discussions on the budget took place for the first time in five years, unfortunately the final product falls short. America's debt continues to grow, reaching $17.2 trillion. Just like American families, Washington must be serious about living within its means. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
