Concurrent Resolution On The Budget For Fiscal Year 2007

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007

Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank the gentleman from Texas for his work on our RSC budget. He has done an outstanding job. And you know, this really is a time when we can renew the Contract With America and those goals that we focused on and the principles that were laid forth in that period of time, and this is a budget that helps move us again toward those goals and towards those principles.

Mr. Chairman, I find it so interesting that we are hearing people say, well, you can make an argument for this, you can make an argument for that. You can try to disprove this, you can try to disprove that. And you can make arguments all day long, but it doesn't make it true. It just does not make it true. And I think we have to put our focus on a few simple things that are fiscally responsible.

The budget we have before us that we are debating at this point in time is one that focuses on eliminating wasteful and unnecessary programs and capping growth in mandatory spending. Reducing the size of government and consolidating redundant agencies, this is a place that deserves our focus, it deserves our attention. It deserves our fiscal responsibility.
