Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, Ranking Member Brendan Boyle Launch Bipartisan Budget Process Reform Effort

Press Release

"The congressional budget process is fundamentally broken and will continue to yield bad results and incentivize bad behavior until we address the root causes. There are numerous ways to improve the current budget process that will reduce deficit spending and long-term debt-to-GDP, encourage fiscally responsibly outcomes, and strengthen the financial health of our country.

"The budget process, which hasn't changed in a half century, has failed to produce responsible outcomes and is in desperate need of overhaul. The symptoms of a broken process are everywhere. A dysfunctional budget process will never result in optimal outcomes for our country. No public or private organization would ever run their budget process the way the federal government operates theirs and remain viable."
