Cramer Comments On President Trump's FY 2019 Budget Proposal

Statement

Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement after the Trump administration released its fiscal year (FY) 2019 Budget Proposal to Congress:

"President Trump has laid out his vision for rebuilding our nation's infrastructure; strengthening our military; and fundamentally changing how our government works to make it more efficient and responsive to the needs of the country. Now it is time for Congress to get down to the hard work of drafting legislation to meet the needs of the country as well as addressing the President's priorities.

I believe some of the budget cuts requested -- particularly the drastic cuts aimed at the federal crop insurance program and other farm programs -- are ill advised and fail to address the biggest underlying causes of our nation's debt. I look forward to working with the administration to address these concerns. Everyone should remember it is Congress which holds the power of the purse and we will continue to address the federal deficit and budget priorities accordingly."
