Marchant Statement on Passage of Joint Balanced Budget Resolution

Statement

Date: April 30, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Congressman Kenny Marchant issued the following statement after voting in support of the bicameral FY 2016 Budget Conference Agreement:

"The House and Senate have not agreed to a joint balanced budget in over a decade. I voted to change that today. The bicameral 2016 budget we have delivered achieves balance in under 10 years, repeals Obamacare, and ensures a strong national defense -- all without raising taxes. Most importantly, it holds Washington more accountable to taxpayers and provides for a stronger American economy in both the near future and over the long-term. That's exactly what my constituents sent me here to do."

According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the joint 2016 budget will provide for $400 billion in economic growth and 1.2 million new American jobs over the next 10 years.
