Lummis Statement on Federal Budget Vote

U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., a member of the House Budget Committee, issued this statement following her vote against the largest federal budget proposal in U.S. history:

"This Congress, led by the Democratic leadership, has authorized the largest budget in the history of the United States," Lummis said. "This $3.6 trillion budget spends money we don't have. The staggering spending numbers coming out of Washington are leaving Americans feeling exasperated and angry. If they have to pay more attention to what they spend and how they spend it, why isn't their government doing the same?"

"Families today are facing very difficult economic times. If we act wisely, and responsibly, we can turn things around. If we follow the path this budget lays out, we will be digging a hole so deep we may just bury the hopes and dreams of America's next generation."

"That is why I supported an alternative budget proposal that puts America back on the path to prosperity - one that cuts the deficit and government spending while keeping money in the pockets of hard working taxpayers."
