Rep Walberg Votes to Hold Senate Accountable on Budget

Statement

Today Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 325, the No Budget, No Pay Act, requiring both the House and Senate to pass a budget within the next three months, or Members of Congress will not get paid.

"The Senate needs to be held accountable for not passing a budget in almost four years, because that's hard-working taxpayer dollars they're dealing with. Families and small business owners work within a budget and it's only fair that they expect their government to do the same. House Republicans have twice passed a responsible budget to address our mounting debt and promote a healthy economy. Our goal is to advance a budget that balances within 10 years. The Senate needs to join us in affirming that Members of Congress should not be paid until they've accomplished the simple task of passing a budget, and realizing that our country cannot solve its debt crisis until their government stops spending beyond its means," commented Rep Walberg following the vote.
