Congressman Randy Neugebauer (R-TX), issued the following statement today regarding House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's proposal for the federal budget:
"Congressman Ryan's proposal to slash federal spending in order to reduce the federal deficit by $6.2 trillion over 10 years is courageous. Americans should be inspired that a serious, thoughtful and even approach to reducing the nation's growing deficit has been presented, and that the economic futures of our children and grandchildren are being addressed. My hope is that instead of political posturing on the part of the Democrats and the Obama Administration -- who, by the way, have not offered any deficit reduction proposal -- stand up to the task of getting our country's fiscal house in order."
