"Today, the House took the first step in "reversing the curse' and restoring America's fiscal sanity by passing our resolution to balance the budget in 10 years. I want to thank all the Members of the House Budget Committee for engaging in this process, elevating the discourse of our budgetary process, and doing the hard work the American people sent us here to do.
If we demonstrate the sense of urgency, persistence, and political courage, we will preserve America's leadership in the world and secure the blessings of liberty for our children. If we don't, we will be the first of our nation's leaders to leave the next generation not with a better and brighter future, but with a worse and weaker country than we inherited."
