As a business owner of 42 years and a member of the Budget Committee, I understand the need for a budget – whether it’s for a family, a business or the federal government. While reading through the bill, I asked myself several things: Does this help protect our military that has already been unfairly used as a bargaining chip in several budgeting battles this year? Does this reduce the national debt? Does this reduce mandatory spending? “This budget framework puts over $31 billion back in the military. It saves $23 billion over 10 years by replacing one-time spending cuts with smarter reforms to mandatory spending programs that will produce real, lasting savings. It requires enactment of several budget-savings provisions within mandatory spending. And it doesn’t raise taxes. “Washington’s spending addiction has placed taxpayers, business owners, and future generations on an unsustainable course. As a life-long fiscal conservative, I will always fight for spending cuts, deficit reduction, and smaller government, and I will never allow our national security, or the men and women who serve on the frontlines, to suffer the consequences of Washington’s fiscal problems. While not perfect, this bill is a positive move that will get us back to regular order of passing appropriations bills and making the tough, but responsible, decisions that have been postponed for several years.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
