Statement

Date: March 26, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Senior Citizens Defense Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending

After House Passage of H. Con. Res 27 which establishes the budget for the United States, Congressman Franks offered the following comments on his YEA vote:

"This Budget clearly defines our National Priorities by boosting defense spending above the President's request, repealing Obamacare in full, strengthening Medicare, and balancing the budget in less than 10 years without raising taxes.

"Our Seniors will be protected from Obamacare's raid on Medicare. Our National Defense will be bolstered through greater funding of troop training, and our grandchildren's futures will be brighter as we get on a path to paying off the debt. I was happy to support such a plan."
