Womack Statement on Passage of Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Resolution out of Committee

Statement

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the following statement after the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Resolution was passed out of Committee:

"I am inspired by the budget that my colleagues and I have worked hard to move to the full House last night. Our resolution draws a path forward for achieving a balanced budget in 10 years, without raising taxes, and places the government on a fiscal course sustainable for the long term. While promoting economic growth, the budget also ensures a strong national defense and improved sustainability of Medicare and other mandatory programs that run the risk of saddling future generations with mountains of debt. I am confident that this budget will put us on a course to reduce our annual deficits and out-of-control debt while ensuring the safety and prosperity of our country in a lasting way. This budget is about building a better America with a stronger future and I am glad to see it finally move forward for support in the whole House."
