Also, it will restore needed certainty to our budgeting process by returning Congress to regular order. This means that we can stop governing from crisis to crisis and focus on promoting economic growth and protecting Americans from the disastrous effects of Obamacare.” “In addition, this agreement protects our military from devastating cuts which will help make sure our troops have what they need to keep us safe. I wish that this agreement went further to rein in Washington spending, but until conservatives control both Chambers of Congress and the White House, we must act incrementally where we can. This budget agreement reduces our deficit and moves us in the right direction.” For more information on the agreement, click here. ### Congressman Diane Black represents Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District.
