Statement

Date: April 15, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Senior Citizens Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending

Today Rep. Gus Bilirakis (FL-09) issued the following statement after voting for the House Republican Fiscal Year 2012 budget proposal:

"If families across Florida have to tighten their belts, Washington must do the same. Ignoring runaway deficits and out-of-control spending is not an option," Bilirakis said. "This budget proposal begins to put our nation back on a responsible fiscal and economic path, while preserving the promises made to seniors and protecting those who have paid into Medicare and are on or near retirement. Make no mistake, those who are 55 years or older would see no changes to Medicare whatsoever."
