Kline Statement on House Passage of Budget Control Act
WASHINGTON, D.C.,
July 29, 2011
U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce Chairman John Kline (R-MN) issued the following statement upon House passage of the Budget Control Act:
"Today marks the second time in nine days that the House of Representatives passed a solution to fundamentally change the way Washington spends money while avoiding national default. This legislation would institutionally reform how the federal government spends taxpayer money while preserving the full faith and credit of the United States. While it is far from perfect, the two-step plan includes historic spending cuts and statutory spending controls, ensures a vote on a balanced budget amendment, provides framework for entitlement reform, and includes no tax increases. # # # |
