U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) today voted for a balanced budget plan, the Path to Prosperity, in the U.S. House. He issued the following statement upon passage: Today, I voted for a budget that will reduce spending by more than $5 trillion and lead to a balanced budget without raising taxes on working Oregonians. Of all the threats that face our nation, few loom larger than the ever-growing federal debt and the impact it has on jobs and our economy. That's why I've backed efforts to cut federal spending and get the federal budget in balance so we can begin paying down the nation's debt. The House has passed a budget each year since the Republicans won the majority in 2010, while the Senate has only done so once in the past four years. I am disappointed that, yet again this year, the Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, Sen. Patty Murray, has already announced the Senate will not even vote on a budget. This is yet another reason we need a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget each yearno matter which party is in control of Washington, D.C. Specifically, the House budget plan: Grows the economy and creates jobs. Secures retirement for seniors by strengthening Medicare and other vital programs. Repeals the health care law to clear the way for patient-centered reform. Provides Oregon families and small businesses with a fairer, simpler tax code. Allocates an additional $410 million to veterans programs for those who have served the nation in uniform. Clears the way for further extensions of Secure Rural Schools payments to rural communities for essential services like schools, roads, and law enforcement. This would be necessary as Congress continues work to fix broken federal forest policy to provide active management of our forests, create jobs, and provide certainty for rural communities.
