Path to Prosperity

Floor Speech

Date: March 20, 2013
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Budget, Spending and Taxes Economy and Fiscal Government Budget and Spending

Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, the Path to Prosperity budget on the floor this week reaffirms once again that House Republicans are the only ones in Washington providing genuine, serious solutions to our country's spending-driven debt crisis.

We have released a budget that cuts government spending responsibly, enacts commonsense reforms, and, most importantly, balances the government's books within 10 years.

Mr. Speaker, what have we heard from the President? Well, nothing. The President hasn't even submitted his budget to Congress yet, and it is on track to be one of the latest budget submissions in history. And the Democratic-controlled Senate's budget, of course, raises taxes and never, ever breaks even.

That is not what America needs, Mr. Speaker. With our budget, House Republicans have provided a genuine blueprint for creating more jobs and opportunity in America today.
