Broun Applauds Earmark Moratorium
U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) today issued the following statement after House Republicans adopted a unilateral moratorium on all earmarks:
"I applaud my Republican colleagues for taking the first, small step to restore fiscal discipline and change the way Washington spends the American people's money. While families are struggling to make ends meet, they should not be forced to pay the price for other people's pork," said Broun. "President Barack Obama continuously touts the need to reform the earmark process, so I urge my Democrat colleagues to follow our lead and turn their rhetoric into reality. We must use this as a stepping stone to reform the broken, budgetary process."
