Statement from Paul Winfree, President and CEO of the Economic Policy Innovation Center:
The successful passage of the House Budget Resolution is a critical step in securing our fiscal future. Working with House Leadership, the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, Members of the House Budget Committee, and other conservative leaders within the Conference in the lead-up to the passage of the budget, I can attest that those involved in this process have demonstrated a dedication to reducing America’s debt burden and securing future economic growth. Behind the scenes, Members took every necessary and possible step to secure the border, increase America’s energy output, maximize savings, and reduce the tax burden on American families.
The reality is, the United States’ debt capacity is quickly eroding. To avoid a debt spiral, we must take steps to reduce growth in spending and address massive issues with waste, fraud, and abuse in government. The reductions contained in the House’s budget resolution (up to $2 trillion and even beyond) are necessary to ensure our future ability to respond to crises.
